Cool Performance Spark Plug Wires

Just purchased a pair of SCREAMIN' EAGLE Performance Parts.
Performance Spark Plug Wires.
Designed, engineered and tested by Harley-Davidson.
Milwaukee,WI USA
made in u.s.a.

Not only caution me, but, these are intended for the experienced
rider only.
Not legal for sale or use in California.

Installation of this product (and similar products from other manufacturers)
may reduce or void your Harley-Davidson vehicle warranty.

All of this is on the box. Buyer beware!

As some of you have replied to some of my posts, Choppin' Charlie is
Dummer'n Dirt, which may be, but seems to me this may not be good business tactics. If you buy parts and service from the dealer it should be good quality, look good & not void the warranty.
Just sayin'.

You did a great investment in the first place. You will be amazed about how not noticeable the difference is between the performance and the stock plugs. Great way to waste your money.

Some have commented (and this is only 2nd hand info as I have never tried them) that they occasionally encountered problems and reverted back to the stock wires. I have also heard (same caveat) that the stock plugs are better.

Did you have to re-jet or re-map? RPM pick up a bit? ...

I hear the red wires are hotter than the orange, and the blue ones are coolest, but black ones are fastest
