Well Steve, with all of the other changes I made over the winter it really runs better than before.
I will say that the old wires showed signs of "leaking spark" so it is an improvement in that aspect. _________________ Ride safe.

Hi guys,
glad to hear that initial feedback is positive.
Strangely [?] 40% of customers have reported that their old leads were faulty when removed ! As were 2 of my bikes. One of which had been scrupulously "maintained" [ ? ] by the previous owner!
If nothing else, that has to be good. Only long term testing will tell if there is any real improvement in gas mileage etc., but I suspect improvements [ IF ANY ] will be marginal.
No the big plus here, is the saving over OEM costs for a quality product - and they DO look bitchin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Red has the nod to date [ 60% ] over Yellow, and soon [ 4 - 6 weeks ] Realm will be running a Dark Blue.
Steve, not sure about the US, but I guess $77 is around £50? That would be HALF the price we pay for stock OEM leads !!! _________________ Beachcomber '93 K1100RS / '93 K1100LT and several K100's |

Got my leads on Saturday, perfect timing as I was in the garage doing some other work on the bike and the mailman delivered them as I had the bike apart for the other things.
He was a bit puzzled why I had to order spark pkug wires from England for my German motorcycle!
They fit well, look nice and work fine. _________________ Steve

Super sano installation Steve.
However, Adrian IS concerned at the time they took to get to you - 7-10 days?
I guess that's a trade off to save over 50% on the carriage.
I ordered some Light Blue - thinking they might be the same colour as my Moroso leads [ 12 mm] - but it's a horrible "girlie" Blue !
So we've gone back to a dark Blue sample. See what that's like! _________________ Beachcomber '93 K1100RS / '93 K1100LT and several K100's |

Just to say, i bought a set of these leads and found them to be as good as the manufacturers oe leads. I fitted them and completely forgot about them, which means they're doing the job perfectly, all the way up to an indicated 145mph
The best bit is the price, at last parts at reasonable prices, please sir, can i have some more??????? |
