'Better' in what way?

What kind of problems are you having with the current plugs?

Your HD plugs are made by Champion - RA8HC
Your local auto parts store can xref that number to whatever $$$ plug makes you feel better.

Or, you can spend $1.50 for the Champion plug and change it every 10,000 miles as recommended and your bike will be quite happy.

I've been running the Champion (or Harley branded Champion plugs) for as long as I can remember in all my bikes.

Run them 12 months a year and have never had a problem.

Normally change them out every 7 to 10 thousand miles, or whenever I happen to think about it...

I believe is the KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid) when it comes to stuff like sparkplugs, and can't think of any logical reason to spend more money on the latest whiz-bang super duper plugs. Some people seem to believe that higher cost equates to better performance, and that isn't always the case.

That being said, of course I do believe in using only the best air in my tires, and would never use anything except the 'Official Harley Approved Certified Air'.

The truth is, all of those fancy plugs only work how they're designed for a short while, then they're just a regular plug that cost you more dough! Just go with Champions or Autolite, gap them properly and you'll be fine.

Wow, only $500 for the Harley air!! Oh, wait, I see that I will need 2 cans to properly inflate both tires.

High dollar stuff, but it does have a "HD" label on the container so it must be worth it....

I thought I would try it in one tire first and see if it was worth the money before spending $500 on a second can.
