Default Spark Plug Wires

Looked throught the EVO section but I couldn't find any thread about spark plug wires or if there was a thread I must have missed it. But, whats a good set of spark plug wires for a 91 Electra Glide Ultra Classic?

Unless you have some kind of crazy build, stock wires are all you need.

You can dress it up a bit by using colored wires and/or heavier gauge sets but it's really just for show. Nothing wrong with it, performance won't be affected.

I like big thick fat wires like these, the ends fit so well onto the plugs and into the coils I just gives me chills, I could almost do backflips over the way they look, and they work at least as well if not better than stock. I just love these plug wires, seriously I really do and think you would too.

Is there any need to change the wires as a part of periodic maintenance? Just going through the odds and ends before the season starts...in three months.

They're just part of regular maintenance just like a car or truck.

I went up to 8mm big orange wires because I like that look on a black bike - I figured if I did a build later on they'd be useful - and pretty soon I did. @ 84k it needed new everything. Still on there and still going strong.
