Default RE: New Plug Wires

Braided plug lines have been used for aircraft engines and military vehicles for christ only knows how long.
Granted they use a different kind of plug and are screwed on like a bottle top.
But you would think that somebody could be making a decent braided set for a bike or car.

Maybe you can find them in a light gray

I picked up a set of the Red SE wires for my red Fatboy this spring, but have not put them on yet; was not sure about red wires with red paint, but they look good here. Anyone know how the tie on the horn bracket works. Does the wire pop out of it or do I need to cut it. Is there a replacement?

As much as I didn't want to cut that fastener on the horn bracket there was no other option. You can't reuse it either..... so I zip tied it there. Not sure if there is a replacement or not.

Dealer sells the replacements for like a buck apiece. Or just use regular zip-ties.

Used zip-ties on mine. Did not tighten them up too much though. Just enough to hold the wire.
