What are you guys using to replace the stock spark plug wires on your XBs? I am not really finding much discussion on them. I found some on the trojan site but no info or feedback on them here. Plus I don't really want the hassle of ordering from across the pond if something is less than stellar about them. I can't find anything on American Sportbike, which sucks because they are only two states away. The onl;y plug wires there are said to be for tuber not XB use.

My XB12Ss has very odd (to me)plug wires on it. The wire seats on the plug and then has a little black clip that holds everything together. Well I lost one of the clips and I can't find replacements anywhere. The guys and the dealer claimed to have never seen anything like my plug wires. Anyway I just want some good old fashioned wires with the 90 that snap on to the plug without the use of little annoying spring clips.

Some red wires would be nice to add a little bit of red detail to the bike.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for the link. I actually came across those not too long ago. I totally forgot about them. Has anyone one used them successfully?

I bought the black "race" wires. They work fine, no huge improvement, just fine.

Thanks. I bought some red ones last night just for the hell of it. With all the snow on the roads I put some stabil in the tank. These are just part of a minor transformation the bike will be undergoing this winter.
