spark plug lead bad after 900 miles

[Jim/Maine]

I have a pinhole in the number 3 spark plug lead wire. The dealer will not send me one to put on myself, telling me that they have to do it. 60 miles each way and I would rather not drive it this way. Any better plug wires available?

Geez your dealer is really trying to gank you. First the oil change issue, now this. :???:

Ya, you remembered. The dealer said that they had to buy them in sets of six and would not do that without submitting it to Triumph for warranty approval. OK, my having my bike is more important than wasting a week of precious Maine ride time, so I asked "can I buy a set, and a plug" -- guess what, they were happy to oblige. Guess they do not understand what that will ultimately cost them! Yes, I ordered them so I can ride this weekend. Bad taste in my mouth though.
