I carry 2 spare spark plugs and the wrench on my Harley. WHY ?? I have never changed a plug on the road. Do you carry spares in your car NO you dont. Whats the difference. Im done doing it. Ok maybe on a huge road trip but not all the time.What do you say.

 

Maybe 40 years ago...

 

I've always carried spare plugs on my bikes,,, it's cheap insurance...
But I've only had plugs just up and die in my Ironhead sportster that I had years ago, never on a Big Twin...

 

Not since the time I also carried a spare set of points for my VW!

 

I do. In a small pouch. Its and old Shovelhead habit. If you rode Shovels, you needed spare plugs. I just can't kick the habit.

 

Nope, haven't carried spare plugs in years.

Of all the things that might break or go wrong on a newer bike, spark plugs are really far down on that list.
I have never changed a spark plug while away from my garage in any vehicle I've ever owned, and never needed too.

On the other hand, they don't take much room either. So, some people still carry them.

 

Back in the day( 1971) I carried a spare quart of Harley oil in a old paper can in the duffel bungeed to my sissy bar. The bungee poked a hole in the oil can and I had 50 w oil all thru my kit. Took a long time at a laundry mat and several washings to clean up that mess.They where not many HARLEY dealers back then and 50 w oil was hard to get.But not anymore. Every town of any size has a dealer. The world has changed.Oh it was a shovel-head and a vibrating monster.

 

Not since 1975 when I got rid of my Suzuki T500 2-stroke twin

 

Used to on my Tramp but never on my softail.

 

Nope............I just install a new Set each Riding season.....
