Has anybody tried the Nology spark plugs wires.They have a capaciter built into them that is suppose to help the spark.Do you feel a difference in performance.Do they help gas mileage.Also would these wires have a negative effect on the stock America & Speedmaster ignition system.The ignitor box is very pricey and I would hate to have to replace one due to ignition wires being hard on the system.They do look nice and there info on www.newspeedmaster.com makes them look like they would be good,but for real?

In the never ending quest to squeeze some more performance from my Speedmaster, I bought a set. I really don't notice any performance increase, but they look nicer than the stock wires. In the year I've had them, no problems with the ignition system.

I dont know about other guys, but I get around 140-150 before I hit the reserve. I noticed better 2-up highway riding after I installed nology coils, wires and iridium plugs.


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I've never really kept track of my gas mileage. After a normal ride of about 100 miles, it takes about 2.5 to 3 gallons to top off the tank. That depends on the type of road, and how much I get on the throttle.
