Default Spark Plugs
Just curious where you guys buy your - Spark Plugs? I saw Walmart has Autolite plugs for my bike and some NGK.

I like the double iridium not because of performance but they last a long time.

Interesting, spark plugs are part of ion knock sensing on Harleys, right ? Is using other brands require a different tune ?

Found this explanation of how it works. Technically I can see where different brands might affect the process.

I buy mine at the dealer. It's not that much difference in price.
