Why not just runthe HD plugs, they don't cost much? I always run OEM plugs and everything, unless it's a racing engine.

So you should/could run the Champion RA8HC to save even more money, as that's what HD uses. Champion just rebadges them with the HD logo.

Harley dealer is 50 miles away, auto-zone is 2 miles away.
