Default accel coil over plug (cop)

What do you guys think about getting rid of your spark plug wires and running an Accell coil over plug. Installation is clean. My v-rod uses coil over plug. Anyone use them on a big twin yet? My Fld would look cool with them.

I hadn't heard of these until now. Interesting idea. Might be of more interest if there was anything much wrong with the stock coil and leads but they are pretty good and don't have any problems I'm aware of.

My concern though would be with anti-knock. There's a pretty sophisticated anti-knock system built into the stock coils and plugs on '06+ Harleys (except Sportsters). It can be messed up just by using non-stock plugs, so I'd be really concerned what a coil change would do to it. They may have this covered but you'd want to be pretty sure of that before investing

It looks great. Accel says applicability goes through 2014 models. I like it.

Any real advantages? Do they work if you have manual compression releases? Looks like it covers up the entire area.

I just saw those in my JP cycles catalog. Look like a pretty nice setup.

I really liked the look of these, but no go with the comp releases there.
