You'll gain at least 6 HP and 8 lbs torque with red plug wires and your mileage will go up about 4 mpg!

What a worthless post, [sm=lame.gif] As said raise the tank up. I looked long and hard at changing the plug wires without removing the tank from it's mounts. Ain't no way i'm going to get my big A$$ hands up there to do it. OBTW i'm partial to the Orange wires.

Bryan, who pi$$ed in your wheaties? Can't we have a little fun?

Ken, I like your sig pic, too. Almost have to stare at it as much as the one of the bouncing b--b's I've seen here. Great job!

Doesn't seem like they'd be difficult at all to change, but where can I find yellow ones? Orange and red just won't match my bike, and I want something other than the black ones.

At your local HD shop. part # 31987-85A $11.50 These are the Multi-Fit 8mm plug wire kit.

RE: How to replace plug wires

Thanks Bryan, guess I'll have to make time during lunch tomorrow to do some shopping... lol.
BTW, does anyone find it somewhat annoying that you can't order a simple little thing from a Harley website and have it delivered to your door? It's always gotta go to the stealers, guess they figure once you're in the door they got ya for at least a Hundred Dollars...
