Default spark plugs

What spark plugs are y'all runnin?

I am most likely going to put E3s in mine.

I have an 07 883 sportster custom. Is the E3 36 the right plug? I want to make sure before I buy some.

In my experience, I've found a spark plug is a spark plug. I've just recently heard of E3's. I'd like to see some data on them. But so far, for me, a plug is a plug.

How often should you change spark plugs on a bike?

I used to sell V twins....... In lawn mowers for 6 years. We sold the E3s and I did not believe the claims on the package. Then customer after customer came in telling me how they work alot better. One custome would get 2 mowings from one tank. After putting E3s in he said he has 1/10 of a tank left after 2 mowings. Alot of people reported the same results to me over the years.

I just wanted to hear from people here if they have used the E3s. I use them in almost everything. the bike will get them soon.......

I have an E3 in my snow blower. I have had to only put gas in it once this whole winter. The blower runs smoother and stronger I like em.
