Nightster Coil Relocation (spark plug cable?)

Nightster Coil Relocation (spark plug cable?)
The coil relocation on my nightster is complete. It was placed in the most common location right between the rocker boxes.
Problem is that one spark plug wire is a smidget to short, and the other is to long. I wish i could find two equally sized spark plug wires with the length only being about 2 - 4 inches longer than the shorter stock one.
Does anyone know where i can get these wires? Or if there is any other late model harley that uses the same. I tried the Dyna's but they were the same size.
Please help.
The picture below is the exact same setup i went with. I used this pic to learn how to make the mounting braket. I wrote the owners handle into the pic as credit.

Accel or Crane Firewire make univesral sets.There are probably a lot more companies that make universal kits too........I just know these offhand.They come with one long wire and you cut and assemble them yourself to make any lengths you need.Real easy to do and they cost about the same as a regular set of wires.Actually I think HD might make a universal set too

Thanks for the help you guys. I just found the wire a while ago. I found out that the 08 Harley Rocker has a near identical coil setup, and with tad bit longer wires so I ordered their screamin eagle version already.
Yeah this is the coolest Nightster I am yet to of seen in a really raw form, I actually discovered this bike today on the xlforums so it's funny you bring it up, anyways. My bike is at my work place being repainted, and the pic way at the bottom is still the last up to date one I have, and i'm way past that stage. Pics will be up in a few days

I hope your bud picked that up as a wreck..............Don't get me wrong, the bike is pretty cool,and I love chops, but the Nightsters are still new... and expensive, and FUEL INJECTED.You could do 3 older Sporties(or more) for the price of a Nightster out the door.............I don't get these guys buying new bikes and chopping them when you could get better results with an older bike at a 1/4 of the cost

Nope he bought it brandy new... one of the new generation of dark custom
riders that HD has been seeking out... mix a little dark custom with a lot of
southern rockabilly punk and nice things come out
We gave him a little **** over not switching to a carb so he can adjust it
himself, but he actually likes the EFI... I dunno I can't figure out these
mixed up kids that are into all this electronic stuff nowadays.... I'd put a
carb on it.

Like I said the bikes pretty cool....but man, that things gotta be like 10K.
He coulda bought an early 90's Sporty and made it look identical or better for what, I dunno, 3K? even less.........thats 7K in the pocket and a paid off bike!
I just don't get it................ then again I don't buy anything new.
Oh well.........cool cycle anyway
And yes,give me a carb anyday.I can take it off, clean it,rebuild it,tune it, whatever.I wouldn't know where to start with EFI
