Cool Touring plug wires
I recently put on a big bore kit on my ultra classic. I also purchased a set of SE 10mm plug wires and proceeded to shorten the one wire I would use for the front jug to length. I am hearning that I have to have both plug wires the same length. Is this true?

Not anything I am aware of. Those electrons move at about 3 meters in a pico second. Don't think an extra few inches is going to matter.

Not true. I've seen many a plug wire sold with 1 long and 1 short.
