Possibly extending my plug wires!!!!

Post by sky1haze » Sat Apr 07, 2012 3:16 pm

Hello everyone, It has been a while.

1966 Ca77 Dream 305

My issue is that My plug wires are stretched as far as they can go... I need them longer. The bike has a single coil with both plug wires going out. The problem is that the plug wires are fully connected to the coil. Glued perhaps. Possibly the shielding is built in somehow....
Any help is appreciated. Have a great day!!!!

Joel

It sounds like you have a stock 1965 Dream setup. Why do you need longer plug wires? Is the bike modified in some fashion?

NGK makes something to splice plug wires. They work quite well.

It is also possible to dremel into the coil and replace the whole wire and epoxy where you had to grind away.

rzgkane, my bike could possibly be a 65"??? They are short because someone previously cut them back to far........ The bike still only has under 5,000 miles..

Hahnda, Ill look into those as well.

Any other suggestions? I consider all input! Thanks

There are 'plug-wire extenders' available, I do believe any good motorshop will have them, in the 'custom' scene I think these things are a common part.

Go try a Harley shop, they probably have them.
