I know we have beat this horse to death, but it's time for new spark plugs, (08 Uly-16K on the clock). I have always used the original plugs, and they have worked well. I know there is always New technology, and was wondering if anyone has found the Holy Grail of spark plugs?

Just use stock 10R12X plugs.

NGK DCPR9EIX Iridium plugs will not foul as easily as original H-D plugs and are good for 30,000 miles +.
I've used them on all my Buells (road and race) and thoroughly recommend them.

up for the iridium, when my bike was stock, it gave the bike a bit more.

I ran my original 10R12X plugs for 24,000 miles before I changed them. They were still working fine, as far as I could tell, but 24K seemed like a lot of miles, so I swapped them out for a new set of 10R12X's. The second set is still in the bike at only 31K. I don't know how easily they foul, as I've never fouled one.

I'm at 16,500 on my first set. Bike was a demo bike and sat afterwards for 6 months. When I bought it it was at the dealership for over a year with 400 miles on it.

Battery was dead, plugs fouled so I got new both with the bike and haven't looked back. Might change mine next year : )
