Cool looking plug wires too. Curious, what made you replace those--the wires I mean?

I would also like info on the plug wires. Also have GL1500 covers on my Standard, but the other kind.

Thanks for the compliments. the OEM wires are solid core with resistors in the plug caps. not my favorite set up. many write ups how solid core can break down during street use. should only be a race track item IMO and others, plus one never knows when the resistor can fail, not an easy fix on the road. But of course there are 10s of thousands of goldwings and valkyries out there with millions of miles with zero problems. Actually honda uses solid wire type on just about all of their bikes. However, with this style plug http://www.sparkplugs.com/product.aspx?zpid=7783and the moroso wires, I did notice better acceleration and slightly better mpg. suggest read everything on this site http://www.magnecor.com/magnecor1/main.htmmagnecor do not come in yellow, the closest to the magnecor design I could fine at the time were the moroso blue max spiral core wires. I used yellow flex coating for the black boots. http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/Moroso-Blue-Max-Spiral-Core-Plug-Wires/748791/10002/-1 |

just solid core wires with no resistor like OEM have, most likely are affecting the electronic ignition in various ways. |

Yeah, I'd be afraid of something along those lines getting away from OEM wires config. Btw, didn't intend to hijack the thread on valve covers  |
