Hey Rudedogg, Not very mechanical, but I used Split-Fire Triple Platinum plugs from J.C.Whitney on last tune up. Gas mileage went up and bike runs great. These plugs are supposed to last a long time.

I put the Iridium tipped plugs in. Expect they'll last just about forever. My friend and I both thought our R*s ran better as soon as we made the swap.

My R* likes the stock the best Changed to Autolite they only lasted 500 milles before they were fouling the stock runs great and a little less cost

I run NGK's, if there are good enough for my racing engine they are definetly good enough for my bike.

Where can I buy NKG's and what size do I need? Dumb question - I only need two right?
