"As far as I know, there were never plugs on the right side on a stock shovel. Its all aftermarket in an attempt to clear the cylinders better. Depending on where they got the kit to punch the new plug holes would determine the proper plug gap and number."

And that would be next to impossible for to figure out cept when I got it it was gapped two different sizes.

May e ill go back to it and see how it runs. I mean it runs fine now and I ride it daily but I'd like it to be tip top.

Ill put it back to what it was when I got it and see how she is.

So from what I remember the side with the long plugs was gapped at .35 and the short plugs(otherside) was at .30.

Ill change it tomorrow and see how how it goes.

Oh can get better right???
