Spark Plugs & Wires

At what miles or time have you guys changed your plugs and wires? I'm coming up on my 10,000 mile service and I'll be doing it all!!

Thanks

According to my factory service maintenance schedule, the plugs on my 2012 Heritage should be changed at 30,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first. I will check the plugs at each service interval though. If they appear to require changing, I will; otherwise I follow the maintenance schedule.

I changed my wires to braided plug wires within days of delivery. There are several places to get spark plug wires. One is below.

I check my plugs and there burning just fine !! When the time comes what kind of plugs and what heat rang is everyone running? I know the heat rang will very from state to state and motor but I can't seem to find out what the heat rang is that comes stock on my 09 Fat Boy! It's a bit warmer down here in FL in the summer than lets say NY. My stock plugs seem to be doing well so far. But then again I had mine tuned for here in stead of running lean from the factory.

Thanks for the help Bone Doc.
I like the looks of those wires!!
