Ok, put away your white wigs and gavels...

my ngk iridiums didn't come with terminal nuts, just a threaded stud... and the HD stock plugs' terminal nuts were permanently attached (until they were introduced to a pair of pliers and some determination - not usable, in case u were wondering).

what up with that? ive never gotten plugs without the terminal nuts (that 'snap' into the plug wires)...can u just pick up universal terminal nuts at the cage parts store or what??

Coops,

I believe you got the wrong plugs. Seems like there's a different p/n for the plugs with the "permanent" terminal nuts. You can confirm at NGK's website.

I guess you could buy 2 of the cheapest plugs you could find and rob the nuts off them if you have to.

i'll admit, i didnt get the PN that the website recommends after following the advice of some badwebbers who use them. I guess the NGK website recommends plugs that are one heat range hotter than what Buell recommends, due to a change the factory made but NGK missed on or around when they started making the XBs.

At any rate, I did get the DCPR9EIX, which is exactly the same part number as that recommended by NGK, except one heat range cooler. I would think the PN have an extra letter or something if it didnt have the terminal nut, wouldn't it??

Yeah mine came without them too, no biggie, just used the ones that came with my Champs. I mean any garage could probably give you a zillion for free.

Cool, thanks. I'll probably just do that then.

just a little frustrating... changing out my plugs and wires, a 30min project, is turning into a real PITA!!

We have tried to get the DPR9EIX-9 plugs supplied with the screw on caps and just can't get hold of them.
I just tend to make regular forays to an auto breakers yard and liberate a handful of caps every so often : )

Hey Trojan -

thx for straightening out the PN on those on a previous thread. I had to argue with the guy at the parts store to get the 9's as opposed to the 7's, the ones his all-knowing computer was telling him i needed. Very helpful.
