Whatcha all uing for plugs?Some folks don't like them but I've been using Champion RN12YC in my '77 and have had good luck with them. Can anybody suggest something better?
If those Champions are treating you right, ya probably ought to stick with 'em.
I've been using Splitfires with good success but I see on this forum that several people don't like 'em.
Champion makes a good plug.
I think all this V-Groove, Double Fire, Triple Fire, Quadrupple, Fire, Gold fire, Titanium Wirecrap is just gimmicky hype only designed to make the engine run stronger because your wallet is a lot lighter.

You sound just like my old-school-mechanic Dad.
Damned if he isn't usually right, too...
You are probably right eglideic. But I can't complain about these Splitfires I have in my bike right now. I thought I'd try something different in my engine for the hell of it and they have worked fine for over 20,000 miles. I bought 'em from Jireh so they weren't too bad pricewise. I have no complaints about Champion either. I have used them for years and will continue to use them. But I gotta wear out these Splitfires first.
I run 1 heat range colder and right now I am trying Autolite Platinums. So far I like them. Stock heat range gives my m/c pings and rattles. It has been this way for over 25 years.
I use bosch platinum with good results. Don't have a lot of miles on them in the bike yet but I do on my cars and they hold up well. Including in my supercharged Thunderbird.
