Default Plug Gap?

... is the 2010 soft tail motors (96 cubic) gapped at .038- .043 like the earlier models? They tell me the plugs are pre gapped but I know that's B.S.

Not BS, they are pre gapped but might not be correct.

Yep, just checked in my manual and .038-.043 for my '09 Fat Bob. I've never seen a difference between models with the same engine, so it should be the same for the Softails.
