Default Screaming Eagle Spark Plug Wires

I was about to install some of these wires on my Street Glide and I was wondering if there is a different route to running the new wires? Do I just install them in under the tank like the old ones or is there a preferred method to show more of the color? Just wondering what most of the guys on the board have done? Any pics would be great?

Thanks
Christopher

I used black wires and I didn't have any issues routing them under the tank like the original wires were installed in my 2003 Ultra.

considering there are clips under tank to secure the wire ,that is likely the best way. Otherwise they would flop around and lay on the rocker boxes.
i like them in the red.

May I make a suggestion? Carry the old ones on the bike somewhere. The way people are now, those S/E's could walk away, don't ask me how I know about this.

That is seriously crappy. Are the SE plugs really much better and worth stealing?

Not better, just bling.... people like to steal bling....

Too many people these days don't have any respect for others property...

Then there is the generation that believes they should just get/take whatever they want... it's owed to them.....

For what they cost get a set.
even if they are equal to stock, they are thicker and have color choices.
some Accells may offer better performance....if its noticeable I doubt it
