No. But it is nice to put different colored ones. I want some of the sterling chromite cables. They are nice looking.

The only time you'll see a "performance increase' when changing Plug Wires is if the old plug wires were bad. Marketing and Sales Hype not-with-standing . . . In fact going to non-suppression wires that are typical of many "High Performance" Spark Plug Wire Sets, may actually cause problems on the Fuel Injected bikes. This is because they emit RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) that plays games with the computer (ECU). A good rule of thumb is that you generally need about 1,000 ohms resistance per foot of Spark Plug Wire.

I just ordered a pair of the Sterling Chromite II polished stainless ones. I thought about the blue ones, but I figured they would match the braided cables I already have better. Checked at the dealer for a stainless fuel crossover.
None fer the rocker, so Sterling Chromite II Fuel Tank Cross-Over Line was ordered.

Trying to figure out a way to dress up the grenade coil too. Seen some great painted ones on member's rockers, but me likie the shiny.

Have the red chromite colored from magnum and the red is somewhat distorted with the outer coating that is on them. I would buy revtech if you want a certain color!

Don't remember the brand , but ,I put some red braided ones on my bike with no performance gain and they looked pretty cool until they faded to PINK and that was the end of that. Put some 8mm Drag Specialities on next (black) still no performance improvement but they too look good.
