What's a direct hit spark plug attachment? Are your talking about a plug wire that utilizes cap on the plug? Like in auto's?

I am still making up my mind maybe as to what I think of these I guess. Direct Hit pulse plug has any one tried it yet? This is where I had some here say seams nobody else but me has ever tried one? All I can say for a true since Of clarity is that I have never ever fouled a plug. There just seams to be the only input is mine. Norms directions say that a resister spark plug will not work with the lights. My pulse themgamajig works with it . I am going for the first time in well never did run with out one, for awhile to see the difference. I hate to spin anybodies wheels . Something I have been messing with. Seams the only horns I ever lock mine with was people who were some kind of a authority on it , but funny they never tried one? The Idea behind it was a hotter spark!

I haven't tried a direct pulse spark plug device nor a resistor spark plug or a resistor plug wire.
I thought they might or will not work but you guys can try them and see if they will, if they do work then that is good news less RF noise to drive the neighbors crazy. If by chance your lights kill the engine when you turn it on and your running any one the the resistor parts you might try the lights with out the resistor parts.
I do know if your spark plug is close to fowling out the lights will find it for you as the engine will die with the lights on while your riding along, turn off the lights and the engine will come back to life. You will then need to change out the spark plug for a new one. It will only happen when your out someplace in the dark and no spare spark plug or plug wrench, Murphy's law applies.( some cussing allowed/happens unless your not one to do that,for me NO comment.)
I was guessing that if you use a resistor device with a weak mag coil the spark plug might not fire when using or trying to use a light powered by the engines mag coil white wire.
Thanks Goat herder for sharing your findings with the set up your running!

me working on the bike. Don't touch the spark plug when its running, it is a very enlightning experience!!!!!!makes me twitch funny.

Must be something wrong with me every once in awhile I like that twitching feeling....

Got the lights saturday! Thanx Norman.

So intallation is very easy, you just follow the diagram and read the labels on the wire...

Sunday i wired the front light and prepared the mount for the rear fender...since the fender is all round i had to dremel the mount a bit, made some rubber spacer in the shape of the mount, and today ill have to get a drill to drill the wholes in the fender.

ill have it running soon.

The front light is bright, i could focus the street and see my beam of light up ahead...the basket on my bike is sooo big, its partially in the way..still ligths up the night.

Good to hear glad it working good for you

I'm about to pick one of these up, but i had a quick question. would there be a way to swap out the light bulb for say a super led? it might not only benefit in light output, but i like the pure white light

you can try one, I haven't .
