| I have checked my plug wires and I am not getting continuity through either one of them. Wouldn't that be strange for both plug wires to get fried at the same time? I am running a Crane HI 4 dual fire electronic ignition and have 7mm suppression wires. Are these the right kind? Shouldn't I be getting continuity through them? Anybody got any help? |

Harleys have been known to vibrate y'know Quote: |

| I'd switch that ignition to single-fire (if you can - mine is) & get some quality wires that don't have the brittle carbon core. Spiral wound Monel plug wires are a good option. |

| I had stainless braided wires on mine. Both started arcing out and the bike ran like ass. When I removed them, I was really surprised at how bad they were. One was just a little worse than the other. Then I replaced them with some quality black rubber ones and it's been fine. |
