Anyone used them?

Just put them on the XB to replace a walmart plug and an old HD plug.

I was told they are less likely to foul.

Bike ran fine on the walmart plug so I am not worried, just curious if anybody has any experience with them compared to NGK etc...

Never tried them, I'm anxious to find out also. Good thread.

I can't recall the exact model but I was told they were brand new technology.

Worth the extra $5.50 on top of the free swap (warranty issue) to me.

Walmart plug is probably a rebranded champion. HD plugs are rebranded champions... Maybe its a higher grade rebranded champion?

A piece of metal that sparks is brand new technology? Don't let them talk you into getting HD brand blinker fluid either : )

They didn't talk me into it, I asked for something besides the basic HD ones as those didn't work out to well at the track.

The Screaming eagle plugs are repackaged Split Fire plugs...(or were the last set I saw)....Do yourself a favor...get a set of NGK iridium plugs and forgeddaboutit.

If you can't find any locally...call Al at American Sport Bike....

+1 on the NGK Iridiums. The bike runs great with them an will not have to worry about replacement for a long while.

I've run Buell branded plugs (appear to be rebadged splitfires) for the last 7.5k or so. They still seem to be holding out pretty well, the plugs that were replaced at the 1k check (HD branded) were fouled after 6k miles on them.

Froggy. After reading your post about blinker fluid I went and checked my new 09 XT and all four turn signals are bone dry.

How did the factory miss this? This should be covered by the warranty, right?
