I agree, someone should tell Triumph to move the coil towers out from underneath the tank so that they wont make the fuel explode.

But you're still weighing one corporate marketing pitch against another.
Nology is for the 'import tuner' crowd where looks are everything (e.g., Civics with fart can exhausts). I don't fault Nology as they are simply making a glorious profit with the tuner kids' purchases. But when it comes to performance, I'll go with the physics over the hype . . . especially when the hype comes at $80!
[For $80, I got 6 of the Magnecor KV8.5's on one of my vehicles.]

How in the world do they stay in business selling hype over physics? We the sheeple need our overlord to protect us from free enterprise I guess. My final word, I installed them on a speedy and they work fine, look nice, and are an alternative to OEM and other aftermarket sources. I had no idea they would turn out to be the devil incarnate.

...The stock OE replacement spark plug wires from Triumph are $140.98 / pair.

Exactly. If ever I need new plug wires, I'll be ordering them from you. All the other options require us to modify cut chop and paste. Yours, with the photo you included look like a direct replacement. Cept for the grounding strap. I like black. Once you've, well never mind...
I sure wish the Texas rally had of taken place this past weekend!

I have a few extra feet of MSD 8mm Superconductor ignition wire sitting around the garage. I think I'll make a set of wires for the Speedy and see what happens.
