Ya think?
What are they, like Yellow or Red or something?
I would think they would be better insulated and better conductive center core or something... I don't know...

ANYONE know better?

I just put a set of screaming eagle wires on my king this weekend. Yes, had to lift the tank but far enough to put a broom stick under it to prop it up. Changing the wires after that was a piece of cake.

yup you can get your fingers in there and do the job .But it sure would be better and easer to take the tank off. Except for a little gas mess

The difference between stock & the screaming eagle plug wires are, colors & 10mm thick vs 8mm.

Do you think that extra 2mm would give you better spark?
Or is that extra thickness just in the insulation...

I was told that the SE wires are 10mm and the original OEM wires are 8mm. So, I bought a set of SE wires.

Why not just pull the tank off & be done with it? I haven't had the tank off my '14 Limited yet, but I've pulled many a motorcycle gas tank & it was never that big of a job.
