I have two baggers. One with a 103 and 255s and one with pipes and a download. Any input?

I tried a couple SE plugs in my stock 96 on my '09 UC and I did not realize any difference.

Ain't gonna hurt anything but. you ain't gonna gain any performance...I had mine in for about 30 or 40k miles and the still looked very good...i replaced them but kept the old ones....Bike runs fine. I don't worry abolut the plugs. i just ride, i check them about every 5-10k to mainly make sure they are tight enough...

I guess the main reason I'm even considering it is the Mrs and I are entering a bike show this weekend and she mentioned the corrosion on the plug that is visible between the boot and the head. Figured if I was removing them to clean them might just as well put in new.

I've used the SE in mine and it runs great - I've used Accel too and it runs great. The SE's have the kewl eagle sticker on the plug but once you put the plug wire back on you can't see it - at least I can't - good luck at the show

I've experimented with fancy spark plugs in a variety of vehicles over the years.

Never, ever noticed a **** bit of difference. Save yer money!

Same here.

Anyone remember those expensive "SplitFire" plugs? LOL

I've landed on using Autolite spark plugs for years now.

Splitfires were one of the ones I used. About 3 times the price for the exact same performance.

Mind you "Splitfire" is a great name!

My pain meds are causing me to miss your pun in there...all I can think about is the beautiful elliptical wing tip Spitfires of WWII.
