I just put the heavier SE Plug wires on my RK. I took the seat off and removed the bolt holding the rear of the fuel tank. I raised it and set a socket under to hold it up. It gave me enough room to run the front wire through.

I put a set of the SE plug wires on my Road Glide, getting them into the stock clip was a little tight, but only took a couple of minutes ... yeah, no issue at all with the Dyna, but had to replace the clip on that bike.

Does anyone know where a person can get color specific plug wires? I have seen I think orange but that's about it.

Taylor make the colored plug wires. I purchased some blue wires from Sumax.com about 20K miles back. They have been fine so far, no problems.

+1 on this method, I used a small block of wood under the end of the tank. Makes it much easier to reach the clips under the tank.
