Me too! If I had put these on my Spyder I would not have thought twice. But somehow, having them on someone elses Spyder makes me a bit nervous. Can't explain that.

If I were putting miles on my Spyder I'd have put a set on it by now. But it's just been sitting and I think any wires would work just as well in that case.

I should hear pretty soon from SpyderPops, one way or the other. My feeling is I'd have heard already if the wires were giving him trouble.

I rode to Sturgis and back with them, don't that count for something?

You don't have the same setup as I made for SpyderPops. Just about everything is different. The set I sent him is WAY BETTER!

Ok, I finally got some time to work on the Custom Spark Plug wire sets. I have been pretty busy and I didn't want to rush it. I wanted to take my time and get it right. The assembly process has not been as easy as I assumed it would be. I like things right. I guess I'm a bit anal in that regard. Especially if I'm going to be sending them out to SpyderLovers!

I have had the right parts for awhile and today I took some time and made a set. They came out very nice and I now have an assembly sequence that I think should speed up the process.

These wires are more than just different, they are completely different. I didn't really go for cosmetics since these wires will be hidden under Tupperware. Though I think they look pretty cool, my component selection was stricly based upon function.

The Spiral Wound Wire is not only a much better way to get spark from the coil to the spark plug, these custom wires should easily outlast 2 or 3 OEM wire sets.

Here are some of the improvements over OEM.

Wire
OEM - 7mm Carbon Resistor Core
Custom - Accel 8.8mm Spiral Wound Race Wire

OEM - High resistance Carbon Core reduces spark energy at the spark plug and tends to break down over time causing misfires and backfiring. Manipulating these wires (as when you change a spark plug) can cause unseen damage and problems.
Custom - Low resistance, Spiral Wound bi-metallic wire core provides a continual, hard wire electrical path delivering more energy to the spark plug ~ Metal wire does not break down like the carbon core. Handling is not destructive.

Spark Plug Boot
OEM - Standard Automotive Rubber provides minimal resistance against arching. Can deteriorate in high heat conditions increasing chance of arching as the boot ages. Handling can be destructive - Short length makes it hard to grip for installation/removal as it is recessed into the Spark Plug hole.
Custom - High Quality Silicone provides maximum protection against arching. Silicone's resistance to high heat environments helps these boots last a long time - Extended Length brings the top of the boot above the the Spark Plug hole making it easy to install/remove. Handling is not destructive.

Coil Boot
OEM - Automotive Rubber
Custom - 45 deg. High Quality Silicone. 45 degree angle helps it to lay up to the frame rail. (Ok, admittidely the coil boot is not that big a deal, the stock rubber boot is probably all that is needed at this end of the wire. Still, this is a high quality race boot and a nice improvement at the Coil end).

Noise (RFI & EMI Interferance)
OEM - Good suppression of both noise sources, can deteriorate as carbon core breaks down.
Custom - Excellent suppression of both noise sources, will not deteriorate as long as wires are servicable.

Bottom line, (my opinion of course) is that the OEM wires are adequate for the job if replaced at least with every spark plug change. But if you want a much better spark delivery system with more reliable wires that you can work on without destroying them, this custom set is going to do it for you.

oooh, I like... how much? My spyder eats wires

**Rayelljay** · 10-17-2011, 10:40 PM

Yes, how much fer two sets....?

**Bob Denman** · 10-18-2011, 06:45 AM

Me too! One set please... for an RT!

RT's take the same wire set as the RS.

Right now my price will be $65.00 delivered to anywhere in the US.

$68.00 delivered to Canada. (USPS 1st Class) or $75.00 (USPS Priority)

$77 delivered to anywhere else in the world (Priority Mail)

I will have more sets ready next week and I'll PM you as I get them done in the order that you're posts appear in this thread. Once I get ahead of demand then I'll have them on the shelf to ship right away.

If you want to add a set of Iridium Spark Plugs they are $17.00 more for domestic and a little higher for International. I highly recommend the Iridium plugs and have been for some time. Looks like BRP is finally coming around to the same conclusion!

Glad that my rant about the OEM wires has shown such interest and solutions!!! I really like the new ones that BajaRon is making. The wires I made are working great and I still have the replacment OEM wires

so hope I will not need to buy wires for a while. (By the way, let me know if anyone wants a set of OEM wires.) When I do buy new wires, I will definitely go with BajaRon's plug wires. The attention to detail and quality components should produce a superior product. Great Job!!!!!!

**Bob Denman** · 10-18-2011, 10:03 AM

Thanks Ron! PM sent regarding payment information...

They say "Necessity is the mother of invention". Not that a set of spark plug wires is an invention. But it's been an interesting journey. You woudln't think 2 wires would be so difficult to come by! It's one of those things that is simple, if you know what you're doing!

**sabunim5** · 10-18-2011, 07:59 PM

I will take one set of wires and plugs for a GS/RS (in case the plugs are different) when they are available.
Thanks, Steven

**Big Arm** · 10-18-2011, 08:58 PM

I'll take one set, Ron
Thanks for all the work you put into these.

**Noral** · 10-19-2011, 08:52 AM

Ron, I would like to order a set of wires and plugs. Thank you ! O forgot we have a rss Se5 if plugs are diffrent

**Bob Denman** · 10-19-2011, 09:52 AM

**ryedoggracing** · 10-19-2011, 05:44 PM

Ron, Do you take PayPal? Sign me up.

Yes, Paypal is how most people make payment but for those that rather mail payment, that's fine too. You can either send payment to my fyredad@hotmail.com Paypal account or, give me the email address attached to your Paypal account and I can invoice you by email. Either way is fine with me. I should be shipping these out the middle of next week. First paid, first shipped.

**Bob Denman** · 10-20-2011, 06:48 AM

Thanks Ron! I figure since my RT is apart; now's the time to let them change those plug wires!

Yes, it's the 2 birds with 1 stone concept.

Lamont tells me changing the Spark Plugs can be done without removing the air box. I've yet to give that a try but it sounds good to me.

**Bob Denman** · 10-25-2011, 08:41 AM

Hiya Ron!

So how's production coming along??

I love your new wires and will be purchasing a set over the winter. Not that we do not trust you but I have to ask, is there a warranty on these wires ???

**wildbill6565** · 10-26-2011, 06:46 AM

Rod I need two sets of wires and four of the spark plugs too. Email me a pay-pal invoice please.
Bill

Parts are here and I will be shipping at least some of the orders out today. I feel like Santa in his shop! Now I could really use some elves!
