Default Braided Ignition Wires

Hey I am new to the forum and thought that I would post my first topic. I am wanting to get some braided ignition wires for my 03 Softail Standard to match all of my stainless braided oil,clutch,brake, etc. cables....I have been looking at the Sterling Chromite ones and the USKoolines I think is what they are called, and just wanted to know if there are any other companies out there or what the best ones to get as far as quality, looks and performance?? Also if anyone has some pictures of them on there bike that I could see I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and hopefully someone can help the newbie out.

Hey 20FXST06, How do you like them? Did you get the performance ones and can you tell a difference with them on when you fire up the bike? Even though it probably isn't a huge gain....Thanks

I have the same as posted above. Buy em...you'll love them, worth the money IMHO.

Oh yeah....I bought the performance ones but couldn't tell if any gains. After all, thier only spark plug wires. Can't remember the size, but thier a little thicker than stock.

I had the Sterling Chromite wires on for a while.They only lasted for about a year,then they started arcing.I've heard others say the same thing.They did look good though.

Koolines are the way to go.

No arcing problems like other wires.

I have had mine since 04 with no problems.

Love them.
