it's possible. I've heard that even changing to the Screaming Eagle high-comp spark plugs will mess it up. Your plugs, wires and coil all work together on a feedback type of system to detect knock events when the plug fires. if it's not working right and causing false knock, the ECM will constantly pull timing. bike will be doggy. worst case the ecm pulls a whole lot of timing and bike runs very hot and very doggy. Since there is zero performance benefit to using different wires or coils, probably better to keep it stock if you want to use the knock detection system. That's all i know about it from what I have come across in a number of threads on HD tuning.

No I was gonna send the coil to him and see what he says. He asked me if I wanted it to look like a hand grenade and I told him no.
Another friend of mine is wanting to see if he can do one with the Willie G skull in black and chrome.
I remember someone on here changing the coil for the Accel packs but I can't find the post to ask if he would get rid of the coil. If not I will get a new one and send it to him.

Unfortunately there aren't so many valid alternatives on the market yet.
I agree a cover would be the easier and cheaper choice to improve the look and avoid the issues LA_Dog just mentioned.
Hope my friend Michael will manage to have a custom cover made...Willie G one would be great in terms of fitting for my BO...
First thing now is finding a spare hand grenade coil to start this project...

So I ordered the SE 10 mm Plug Wires Red #31967-08
Installed them and they work great and the bike runs exactly how it did with the stock wires. Have never had any knock what so ever and I live down here in this Texas heat. They look good on the motor with that little touch of red and a little thicker plug wire.

Can only share my experience to date about changing the stock plug wires to the Screamin' Eagle wires. Myself last summer wanted to add the SE red plug wires, I did tons of research and found all kinds of different opinions. Some say it changes nothing with the knock sensor and some say it will. After talking with my preferred dealer about this, they informed me it would not effect the knock sensor as long as you went with the correct SE plug wires for the bike.
