Never noticed anything out of any of the fancy plugs but my wallet getting slimmer... Did my 10k service this weekend and used regular NGK's from my local indy. Have used NGK's for years in all my 2 strokers and they work well. Reliable. Cheap. Autolites are just as good

@JarodB - As far as colder climate I would think you could run a 1 step hotter plug and save the extra cost of the Iridiums. Should do the same thing

Yes, but I run iridiums in all my vehicles and like them. If I was worried about the cost for 2 spark plugs for my bike I would not have bought a Harley. Chrome cost more why not make my motor run smoother with 2 plugs?

I know, that's just the brand I use. The OP asked for what we use and why.

I stayed with the stock plugs. At one point I considered "upgrading" the plugs and plug wires, but decided it was not necessary as the bike runs fine.
