Questions & Answers
A wire and a plug are provided. There are only two wires, one long and one short, for your installation. I don't know the details of your installation.
It's not exactly the same length as all the stock wires are on your HD Sportster 1200, but it's about the same from the coil to your plugs. The new ones are exactly the same as the old ones.
However, my '11 FXDB fits the plugs but not the coil, so that doesn't make sense to me, I guess
Mauro, this is not suitable for 1986 to 2006 Sportsters.

This coil will not work with Harley stock coils. (I have a 2004 XL and this product claims to be compatible with HD). The Harley coils require the wire to spring against a center post, while these come with automotive-style end caps that turn outward. These are not compatible with Harley coils.
The boots are absurdly oversized at the plug ends (appearance issue) and will not fit in HD authorized chrome plug boot dress up parts. The coil ends of the plugs have undersized boots (bad fit). The oversized wires and covers (clearly listed as oversized) are TOO BIG to be covered by the separate, OEM protective plastic If you intend to retain the "dirt/heat/abrasion" guard along the rear cylinder ignition wire run (the long one), you will need a slightly larger sleeve.
I bought these for a swap meet, then abandoned them. These are resister wires, so they misfire awfully, but with solid core plug wires, they run fine.
These coils are not compatible with Harley stock coils. A 2005 Sportster 1200 custom motorcycle. In the stock Harley, the wires are automotive style, with a center pin. These two things are totally Putting them on with a new coil for a while was a little tricky, and as I was trying to install them, they just zipped This is an extremely hard.
The part is perfect for my '98 Sportster. No problems, didn't have to modify or fiddle around with it at all. The old wires need to be removed, and the new ones put tell you that my bike starts easier, runs faster, stays cooler, or has better mileage, but I can tell you these wires did their job I only wish I could get them with the red/pink ends from my other bikes so I can use them on your bike. As opposed to black wire ends, these look more high performance.
Fits 03 Sportster. This is clearly a better quality wire than stock wire. Compared to stock, they are longer than usual. There are several negative reviews from customers who are using the wrong version. Harley electronic parts are often quite inexpensive, so this would be an easy upgrade compared to a tune-up.
The batteries in mine didn't appear to be We're very happy with the smooth running of the engine after replacing both.
Upon receipt, a wire shorted out where the ignition coil boot meets the sleeve of the rear cylinder. It resulted in a slightly burned wire as well as a dysfunctional engine. To my surprise, the fix was quite simple. In removing the ignition coil boot, you could see that the wire core just extended long enough to reach the end of the coil The problem is now resolved after I trimmed it back and put some heat shrink tubing over it.
