Well I went to change spark plugs yesterday for peace of mind since the new Buell I just got had 17k when I bought it. I needed to get this job done before tomorrow so I went ahead and started changing the plugs yesterday. I figured it would be an easy job and just as thought, the front cylinder went smoothly. As I make my way to the rear cylinder, I use some needle nose pliers to pull the spark plug boot off the plug. Being in a rush because I wanted to ride, I grabbed the wire with the pliers and gave it yank. Pulled the dang wire out of the boot...I should have known better but I let my impatience get the best of me.
Pissed because I knew it was going to be a few days to get new wires and I don't have the time to wait! Frantically calling the local HD dealer, I asked if they had them in stock (I knew this was going to be a shot in the dark). Th parts woman tells me no go (Go figure) but says she knows another dealer up a little ways that has some. I couldn't believe it. She gives me the part number and phone number to the dealer. By now its 4:30 in the afternoon and them still being open would be a miracle.
I call them and to be surprise are still open and have two wires in stock... I didn't think I was that lucky. I had 30 minutes and I live 30 minutes away so I drove the hell out of my Jeep to get there. Made it to the dealer and got my plug wires. I was surprised how cheap they were also ($11 a piece after tax). Figured I should do the front one since I am in there so I bought both. Got them changed out in 20 minutes and was able to get a good hour of riding in before dinner. I was a happy camper.
So, anyone needing plug wires in Cincinnati, OH, don't go to Powder Keg HD, their stock has been depleted
. There are some out in the Eastgate HD
