Spark Plugs...which ones are best?
« on: March 22, 2011, 09:43:48 AM »
2010 CVO....Is there really a noticable difference between brands and plugs?  If so, what do you feel are the best, why, and what size, and where do you buy them online.  I believe changing all your fluids, and plugs annually is the cheapest maintenance for long term protection.

I personally prefer the sparky kind, but then I'm a little strange.

 I prefer the pluggy kind and am also strange but not in a sparky way.

Stock HD plugs..agreed, unless higher compression than stock, then maybe the SE plugs or similar. I think NGK manufactures the plugs for HD do they not?

Moved/merged your thread w/one that was started today...

Simple answer is "stock" plugs, change them annually.

I put 15k to 20k on my bike annually.  I know a lot of folks don't have that much time.  Is there a better mileage estimate on how often?
Thanks again,
