Default Spark Plug Wires for Coil Relocation

Hi all. I did a coil relocation and got wires from a Rocker which when I put on I found it was a very tight fit but it worked...until now. Was riding today and my bike started fartin 'n' burpin so I stopped at a gas station thinking I was running out of gas (light was on). Put gas and same thing. Took a look at my wires and noticed that one of them was off but the crimp was still on the plug, DOH! Any idea what wires I can get that are a little bit longer than the Rocker wires?
Here's a pic I took while waiting for the tow truck

I've done several coil relocations now, mine and various friends, and I have to say I've found there can be anything up to 1" of difference in length on the Screamin' Eagle Rocker C ignition wires, it's worth checking them at the stealers to make sure you get the 'long' ones!

I thought something was weird! I saw pics of others with Rocker wires and was sure it would fit on mine. It did but so damn tight...too tight it seems. Thanks for the info

This is what I used, I have enough left over to do it again if I decide to reroute in the future. No complaints at all!

D'oh, I just picked up Rocker Screaming Eagle wires for my relocation. Hope I don't have any problems...

I believe that if you contact them they will make the cables to your liking (color, length, boot type)
