Getting ready to change the spark plugs on my 2009 110 CVO. Any recommendations?

Oh no, not this again.  Did it run okay with what was in there?  Any plug-related problems?  No?  If you are going to replace them this often put the same type in.  If you don't want to replace them as often put a platinum or iridium plug in and don't even think about them for a long time.  Seriously, plugs are a nail and an inslulator, if they ignite the mixture: done.

Unless you like wasting money, stick with the standard plugs.

The only thing I will add is to use a torque wrench and put a light coat of antiseize on the threads.

I change the NGK Iridium's at 20,000 miles FWIW..   Around $8.00 each..
