Default Plug gap for a 95" Big Bore Kit???
How's it going everyone?

Have been having some what seem to be ignition problems with my bike and decided to go ahead and regap my plugs if need be.

Does anyone know what the specs for the Big Bore Kit should be?

'06 Night Train w/ factory 88 - bored to 95.

Its the same as an 88" unless you are a tuning guru, that can find .00003 Hp from altering the gap ever so slightly!

Haha, I may want to look into altering the gap then, who wouldn't want an extra .00003 hp?!?

Thanks Chaz, appreciate it.
