I have a noticeable difference when using the SE plug wires WITH the SE platinum plugs. I have tried this combo personally on 2 of my bikes and my father in laws and everyone I have recommended this to is amazed at the difference.

The SE fatwires are also a little difficult to get snaped into the wire keepers under the tank.

Hmmm....interesting the Harley Engineers didn't pick up on that.....
I think a Dyno would verify any relevant change.
