Seriously......35K those arent done yet.......they could go another 20K easy.......I start thinking about mine at 50K or so......no big deal....when you are ready get the NGK stock plugs at the local CAR parts place and pay a couple bucks a piece instead of 6 or 7 at the Honda dealer |

Here is my picture , so you know who to avoid at a rest stop or petrol break. Cool Shirt Huh, just a coincidence to be wearing a Easy Rider Shirt next to a Easy Rider Bike. Grinning like a mule eating saw briers. Big Al  |

Anybody ever use Bosch Platinum Plus 4? Use 'em in my Titan & wife's Saab. Last forever, IMHO. YMMV Stan

Bought some for my Valkyrie when they were on sale at a local AAP, haven't installed them yet but, my bike's only got <10k on it now. So I figure it's be a while before I try them. blackrams |

Saw a plug comparison chart a few weeks ago. NGK' s were the best for price and performance.
NGK e3's slightly better, but not worth the extra price. IMHO !!!

I run the NGK Iridium in all but my classic cars. I find they seem to run better at the upper RPM's than the standard plugs. I change them every 15k in my Magna because it spends a lot of time near the 10k redline  and every 30k in the Valk. |
