Default New Ride! New Member! Hello!

Greetings!

I've recently picked up a 96 soft tail custom. since it's a 96 Evo motor I figured this is where I belong! haha
Any who... I'm new to the world of Harley and have a lot of questions.. So I figured I'd start with a Hello! and a of course a couple of pics... I'm having new tire's put on her now and having them (dealership) go over the brakes and electrical as well...
14k miles and lots of extras! she's a beauty! more pics to come!

well lets start with Plugs.... This bike has screaming eagle plugs in it... is there an NKG alternative that may be more cost effective or better? I'm also looking at the new Bell Ray big v-twin oil... anyone have any exp?
and lastly, the Airfilter.... I think its a K&N? It has a Kuryakyn Hyper-charger on it I believe if that helps...

A couple people here swear by NGK iridium plugs.

Personally I use Castrol.

Ditch the Hyper Charger.

Just my 2 cents.

NGK BPR5EIX-11

Do you ride in the rain.
If so they look like a good way to get water inside your engine.

Had one once it took me about a week to take it off. Just a non performer.
