As for the Throttle Lock... That is basically a tensioning screw. Using it to hold the RPM for warm up is not a bad thing. Using it for an improvised Cruise Control IS A BAD THING. A CC will disengage when you roll off or use your brakes. The throttle tension adjustment srew will NOT. That means your bike is getting gas and wanting to GO when you want it to STOP. That can lead to some very bad situations.
I use mine for Cruise Control when needed.

spark plugs
I found Champion plugs at my local Autzone, Champion 404 #RN12YC. Only $1.88 a plug much cheaper. I really don't like Harley products aside from Motorcycles. Most of my t-shirts, boots, belts, all turn to junk within months. lol. I still mostly buy Harley but with small parts and accessories for my bike I feel it's a waste of money.
Thanks once again to every1 who responded. My bike should be out of the shop tomorrow! I stopped going to my local dealer b/c they charge the crap out of me. The only person cheaper than Harley in my area is a local garage I didn't know about. My Uncle's friend owns it and I guess the guy is brilliant mechanic and worked on my bike back when my uncle owned it so she is in very good hands!!

I am not blasting on the Dealership, but I don't take my other older vehicles to the dealer to get work done either... New truck, under warranty... different story...

In a pinch I tried NGK from napa, and thay worked fine. no eng light or any other problems. I rode my old TT500 Yamaha very very hard with NGK plugs and never had any trouble, and even had to por boy it many times, and use the old plug cleaner in grandpaw's shop, it used sand and compressed air. Plugs would last and last, even when burning oil.

Just means More towards CHROME! But seriously...HD just brands others stuff. Save the money and use it more constructively! It's because we spend so much on our bikes that alot of people do pinch pennies! So quit being a brand snob!
