Well guy's lets all put on our thinking caps.

When was the last time you replaced your plug wires???

I was getting a miss while  riding and blamed a poor innocent plug, stopped took out the plugs and put back in the leads and wound her over loooking to see which one, got the "plug not firering and replaced it with a brand newie and checked again NO DIFFERENCE,hmmmm me thinks and changed with plug that was working and it stopped working so i looked at the coil and hoped not,i mean when does a plug lead fail you  but i tried the lead and thats what it was.
A trip to the nearest dealer (i hate doing that) since was closest, and got a set of Screamin Eagle wires $35(this is OZ) later i was walking home looked at them and saw 10mm leads  I had never seen higher than 8.8 before that day so that made me pleased put them on and tok the bike for a ride and i would say to anyone up for a service soon do yourself a favour and  replace your leads with new ones, not meaning has to be Screamin Eagles just new one as i could feel the difference instantly from just new leads, dont know what life expentancy for them are  but was first time i have ever replaced them and i can be sure wont be the last.
Now one last thing anyone know who is the maker of Screamin Eagle plug wires??? cause i like the job they do.

  I saw a custom softail yesterday ,,113" S&S motor with these tiny 5mm wires on it...They said Accel,but noting like I've ever seen,,,maybe 1/8 diameter..They didn't look like 5 mm as I run 8 or 8.8 if I can,,,,just looked wrong.
