Spark Plugs - Does it matter

I have a 2003 95ci Stage 1 Fatboy and its due for new spark plugs. There seems to be 3 different ones in the catalogue. Do the Screaming Eagle ones give any advantage, or should I just use the standard ones?

Unless it's a high-compression build or some sort of radical config, save your $$$ and use the standard plugs.

"In theory" it could make a difference. Each plug design could have an effect on performance, but the only way is to try it, judge performance, and read your plugs. I think for the average rider it's kinda like asking "what oil should I use?".

As far as I know the Split fire type plugs are not that great. Go with the standard plugs. One idea is to get a set of SE plug wires,they are a little larger that stock.
