Just another gimmick to separate you from your money. I'm sure they sold several sets of plugs that weekend.

The process was invented in Canada. So, how could it be bad?
Well that explains it, everything is cold up there.

Saw them being sold and installed at Vegas Bikefest, looked the the vendor had a good weekend as there were bikes lined up for the install. They must work, I know I walked faster when I walked past their booth.

16 out 23 posts dismiss the process in the typical HD-F fashion, sarcastically. Its good to know so many engineers and physicists are here on the forum. Good thing William Harley and the Davidson brothers didn't listen to the nay sayers when they thought building a 45 degree twin cylinder engine was a good idea. From what I've read cryogenics have many applications for improving the performance of metals.

I have heard alot of good benifits from cryo freezing metals. But unless you are really pushing the limits of your engines performance in the upper RPM range I dont see it helping alot on the plugs....

Arrow sorry for the hijack...

P.T. Barnum was right.


I save my old plugs and drop them into selected Halloween Trick or Treat bags unknowingly. My kidz are in it with me. When the neighbors (parents) or their kidz talk about it we just smirk & wink. I'm getting ready for this Halloween...

I've used parts that have been treated by that process during my professional career in very high speed extremely close tolerance equipment that was required by the manufacture so I take the process as being valid & done some reading on it does make sense really , but spark plugs I don't know . On the level a motorcycle engine works in I can't see the value , stick with Bosch Platinum or NGK U-groove plugs best I worked with .

I tried a cryogenic ***** molecule reliner procedure...
I believe they call that a wife ?

If your sparkplug won't function properly I have some tins of 'used sparks' . You can dip the tip of your spark plug into this used sparks and they will give you more than 25% efficiency and less fuel consumption. Not convinced? Order me ten or more boxes and you will see for yourself..
