Default Screaming eagle plug wires / routing

Found a bad plug wire, the resistance would change from 9.5 to 10 to open when I bent or moved the wire around.

Picked up a set of screaming eagle wires and installed. Question is when the front cylinder is mounted with the clip on top of the horn it's pretty snug/short. I also can't route it between the petcock and rear cylinder on it's way to the coil

Does it matter where I run this wire? Can it just go under and zip tie to the fuel line to hold it in place? Fuel line and plug wires don't sound like a good mix.

Its an fxdl if that matters

I agree about the new wires. I had a couple areas that were frayed also. I just put my SE wires on yesterday.

I clipped the cable tie after I connected it. It was so tight it wouldn't allow any forward movement at all of the engine. It's hanging just in front of and below the horn nut now until I find a better way.

Found a cable clip will try to mount to horn bolt

Anyone else with this. Found a cable strap at hardware store, 3/8" works perfectly
