I'm not 100% positive but fairly sure, they are 8mm & come on the Screamin Eagle  (so can only assume they are SE) I was actually looking at them last night & thought the orange ones would look good on mine (go with the orange pin stripes) was lso looking at the twin fire SE spark plugs, But thought I would leave them until preformnce mods had been done.

I check the resistance of both my delivered wires and the SE red ones on a spectrum load analyzer and they are identical except for color.  Make sure they are not bent more than a fist sized curve as a sharper bend added a very small amount of resistance over straight (not sure that it would even be noticed, need a dyno and lots of money to find out more).  Of course color can have a nominal performance impact [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Red ones will left the front tire right off the ground even if the back cylinder is missing its spark plug.  It's true...

Yeah, that may be true, but with yellow you also get more chicks.

Techs at two different dealerships told me the same story about the SE splitfire plugs. They said are great for the first 5 miles after that there is no gain over a normal spark plug and the dyno won't read your torque curve with the splitfires in it. IN both their humble opinion they are not worth the added cost.

And btw fellas, the chicks really dig PURPLE wires which are also good for 3hp because purple is a thicker dye added to the insulation of the wire covering. [smiley=drink.gif]
