Anyone got a source for a coil and wires set for the Uly? I know Magnacor has been used by others, but what set? Specific to the Uly or a Sporty set used on the Uly? Thanks in advance, Mike (Message edited by bugnut on February 20, 2008) | ||

+1 on magnecor wires. Got about 12,000 miles on mine. | ||

Reports are varied. Almost all claim a smoother running bike. Easier starting and some claim plug fouling is less of a problem. If you dig with the search tool you can find the "reports" | ||

Should have also asked: Where to buy / order? I can find all sorts of info on why they work and how well they work, but nothing on actual purchasing from an internet supplier or shop. Even Magnegor doesn't help on how/where to purchase. I absolutely know if I ask my HD parts guy, they will pull up the stock cable or a seat for a dresser. They can barely type Buell in the search engine much less get something that isn't chrome. Thanks Mike | ||

O.K. Just found Treadmarks thread about calling them direct. Whatever happened to being able to get anything through the internet? I actually have to talk to somebody? Yikes! Mike | ||

"I actually have to talk to somebody? Yikes! " I know what you mean.. I had to talk to somebody on the phone once. Scared the @**t out of me. Never doing that again!  | ||

I emailed Magnecor (I use their wires on my turbo cars) and got a lightning-fast response about my dumb questions. If you go to magnecor.com there is a "contact us" link, and there's an email address on the contact page that I used. The gist of the email I got was that you can certainly order thru email, but they made it very clear they do NOT have a secure server so it is up to your comfort level if you want to send your CC info or not. Or attach it. Or send it as a JPEG file. I did get some very good answers to my questions about tuber wires, though - which ends are on the wires (straight, 90, etc), color choices..here's a quote: The short wire is straight and the longer has a 90 degree angle at the spark plugs. The 7mm (black) or 8mm (blue) cables should be fine for a standard unmodified engine, they have very similar constructions. The KV85 Competition 8.5mm (red) cable is intended for raced or modified engines - it is not just a bigger diameter cable, the KV85 8.5mm cable is a different product that has more capabilities for performance, suppression and heat resistance and can be used on ANY engine with no problems. The R-100 Racing 10mm (red) cable is the same basic cable as the 8.5mm and provides the same performance and suppression, but has a thicker jacket for more extreme temperature protection and insulation. The "CN series" cables (which are not available for some applications) are special versions of our 8.5mm and 10mm cables that provide extra RFI suppression and are mainly intended for ham radio, CB radio and similar installations with unusual noise problems; the CN series cables do not help with most other applications and take longer to ship because CN series sets are always made to order - they are never in stock. All in all, very impressive response time. My tubers need new wires this season anyway... |
