I have read the previous post (well some of them) regarding aftermarket spark plug wire sets and thought it appropriate to ask if anyone has current suggestions on what and where to buy these. Thank you for helping..

I bought a real nice set from these guys a few years back, along with a rear shock.

Good stuff.

I saw your photo before and was curious if these were still available. I will look into them. Thanks.

The shipping and customs add a bit to the price, but they are nicely designed, and unlike the OEM ones, you don't need a winch to pull them off!

I just installed some Magnecor wires I bought on Amazon, seem to be good quality, and about half the price as on the Magnecor site. ( I did use the Magnecor site to get the part number.)

Wow. Great price at Amazon. I never thought of checking there! Good deal for you.

I just installed a set of Magnacor 8mm wire in blue. Used the manufacturs web site to get the part number, then eBay and Amazon to get prices. Found a set on eBay with free shipping, waited till they were "on sale" and bought them. My wires were original with right at 17k miles on them, but they had been squished where someone put a tie wrap on them to make a bundle. It was tight getting the 8mm wires through the hole at the back of the head. 8.5mm wires would be really tight.

They are exact length as originals. Great fit, obviously makes the bike go much faster.
