I haven't found a definitive answer, but using NGK plugs may affect ion sensing, so I just stick with stock Harley plugs.

has nothing to do w/ bashing
I would look at WHY the plugs needed replacement at 9+K. Service interval, if I'm not mistaken, is 30K.
I wouldnt expect any noticeable improvement just by using NGK, especially if the old plugs didnt look bad.
I bet a plug wire was loose on one of the plugs, and when you changed them, you put the wires on properly. Easy enough to bash the dealership in the absence of critical thinking.

No bashing whatsoever. OEM plugs are typically to be checked every 10000, and that's all I was implying. Like i said they looked ok w/ some carbon buildup but normalish, and from that perspective, I'da not changed them, but if they test rode it for 5 minutes, they would have noticed the issues I've stated. That's why i looked elsewhere first. It has nothing to do with my "absence of critical thinking" but everything to do with something beyond routine maintenance that I assumed might have been done based on symptoms.
