Fatboy Spark Plug Question???
I’ll start by saying this might be a stupid question but trying to do things on my so here goes.
While I was picking up stuff for an oil change I decided I should go ahead and get plugs. I go to change them and find out the stock plugs the Harley dealer gave me (5/8) are not the same size as what’s in the motor (Accel brand). The 13/16 socket barley fits on the plug, feels loose and will not slide completely into the head? WTF? When I try to turn the plug if feels as if it’s going to strip so I stop. What should I do? I considered finding a dirt bike plug tool thinking it will slide into the head because they are thin walled???

Fatboys come with the special fat plugs. Cuz' they are fat.
SE plugs are 11/16'ths.
Then you gots the 5/8ths and 13/16'ths.
Buy yourself a thin walled plug socket of the appropriate size.
You have one of those 3
