i bought some red light up spark plug caps off ebay, they had little tube lights(that looked just like a little glass fuse), they worked good for about a year, but in all this wet conditions they got corroded badly when it sat for a couple months(rebuild time) and i coulden't get it started at all after i finished...so i tore apart the caps which no longer lit up,a nd found tons of corrosion in there, stuck some standard caps on and it ran like new...they were like 20 bucks on ebay and a good idea if you check em every couple months, (the center part unscrews so u can replace the bulb), they'd be best if you rode mosrly sand, so they last longer...they did light up the top of my engine at night and it was pretty sweet, i got a few comments about em...try your local harley shop, i bet they have something...just make sure it's got the 90* bend for a V twin

If you don't run loaded caps, you have to run "R" style plugs. You see, the factory caps have a resistor in them. WHich eliminates interference so the CDI doesn't get screwed up. Also, be careful about taking the wires off. The studs inside the coil are not very strong. Also, you won't be able to get very thick wires in there. There just isn't much room. I suppose you could strip the insulation back a little though. Just be careful if you aren't runing loaded caps.....
