I cannot find the listed NGK spark plug in any auto part store.  Maybe its discontinued.  What are you using?

Thanks in advance

Stop looking in auto parts stores.
I went to my local Autozone when I got my Valk and the guy told me Dexters (local bike shop) was 2 miles south.
They don't want to stock parts that won't move.

Look online or stop at a bike shop.

I order plugs and chrome K&N oil filters at my local Autozone.  Parts come in the next day.  No extra charges.

Really?   ???  I went to my local AutoZone a few weeks ago and got NGK's for one of my Valks.  Matter-of-fact, that's where I got them the last time I changed plugs in the other Valk.
  
I bet a Valkyrie isn't the only vehicle that uses that NGK plug number.

I had the NGK number written on a piece of paper and gave it to the guy behind the counter.  He asked how many I needed, told him 6 and he went and got them.  I did not tell the guy they were for a bike.

Never go into an auto parts store and tell them what you're looking for is for a M/C.  They will automatically tell you to go to a bike shop.  Case in point...went to get an 1157 light bulb.  As I'm looking, an employee came up and asks what I'm looking for.  I told him I needed an 1157 bulb for my M/C.  He immediately said I would have to get it at a M/C shop.  Right about that moment I reached forward and pulled a 1157 bulb off the wall and showed it to the guy and let him know that I didn't need to go to a M/C shop.

Some of the people in these stores aren't the smartest.......this guy I interacted with was one of those.      uglystupid2

Have we called off the AutoZone boycott?
