Question Anyone use Twisted 12mm Spark Plug Wires?

Hello, I am relocating the coil on my 2011 Fatboy Lo to the horn location (between the cylinders) and looking to fancy up the dull black spark plug wires with some thick red ones. I'm looking at the Twisted 12mm wires like these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121518347564...564%26_rdc%3D1

I know they don't really improve performance, but the guy at Crowe says that on some bikes it makes them rev high and there isn't any apparent reason they work on some bikes and not others.

Has anyone used these? Especially on a 96ci fuel injected? What do you think?
Thanks!

I got them. My only complaints are as follows, they are a smidge to long and the outside is a sleeve and it doesn't fit tight to the wire inside. I am debating on keeping them or going with sumac wires. I originally wanted the se wires but after I opened the package the didn't have the correct terminals for my bike. Yellow seems to be a pain in my ***.

Default I just bought a dyna and it had twisted wires

Twisted wires are Bullshit! It's just a 8 mm wire with a fat cover over it, Buy screaming eagle wires true 10mm and look way better.

Just out of curiosity, did you join this forum only to make this comment on a 9 year old thread? Post a picture of your Dyna with the SE wires.

BTW, welcome to the forum.
