Getting new spark plugs - What to get?
I've always just bought the stock plugs from the stealer. They come pre-gapped so I don't have to do anything to them.
Are there any other plugs that do better then the stock ones? What are you guys using?

Always check your gap, I went with the 6r12g, I always ran the gold plugs in my triples so it was a habit. I have heard alot of good about the E3's so I'm going to give them a go with my next set.

+1 I tried to buy the expensive ones and the parts guy said don't waste your money (he won't get salesman of the year but honesty is very refreshing!).

+1 on the E3s. I put them on my bike within 1k miles and a noticeable difference. Quicker throttle response, smooth acceleration and seems to just go and I don't have any engine mods to my bike yet, just pipes. I also run them in my Escalade and the engine ran quieter it seems like, but that could be me being mental. Horsepower TV did an episode on these plugs and on a V8 they did the test on with these plugs added about two horse power on the Dyno! I had to do a lot of leg work trying to cross reference plugs and I'm 90% sure the TC88 are the same plugs as the TC96 so here is the part number E3.36. You can see if your local parts store carries it. Mine carried the brand but they didn't have this plug number so I had to order mine from sprkplugs.com. Below is their web site!

Oh and these are the same price as stockers with better performance IMHO!!
