Default Opinions welcome: gold braid spark plug wires

LL Cool J would be proud. haha.

The jury is still out on these in my mind. They are the Magnum brand. Bike runs the same with em. I'm not silly enough to buy into the increased performance claims.

But they are built kinda rigid, so don't lay like the stock wires. And maybe they are a little too blingy in matching with my emblems and the helmet I have locked to the bike most of the time when parked.

Then again, maybe my bike can use a lil bling.

Opinions welcome.

Sorry but they dont go well with your bike IMO. Maybe a silver braid would look better but the gold just doesnt go. Again who am I to judge.

Its all cool, your Bike is cool and I dig the helmet, you might need a few more pieces of gold for karma. I might suggest gold accents on the derby and the cam cover and a touch on the sissy bar. Ha, flick of the wrist, stylista. : )>>> For real nice look as is.

Dude, do you know that you have sort of large gold ball stuck to your bike? The gold wires look like your tank is pissing on the engine, but for some reason I like them.
