But I want a little down time as possible so I am trying to get all of my ducks in a row. Stupid question- I would like to change plug wires (yes, I know, lots of discussion about types, performance, etc). But, I wanted WHITE wires. Does anyone make one that will fit our bikes? Alternatives- Could I use plastic spray or would this cause them to arc out? How about shrink wrap? Thanks, jason Going for the 50's look...

Outside a dog a book is a mans best friend, inside a dog it's to dark to read.
