I believe some of these guys have solved some pinging issues with a simple plug change, so thats one reason.

I don't have a problem going with Autolite, NGK, etc.

My Screamin' Eagle performance plugs make my bike misfire intermittently.

Thanks!
I called cycle J&P Cycles yesterday and asked, because the 2007 FLHP runs so hot, if I could change from a DCPR7E TO A DCPR8E and got a variety of anserwers, as though no one on the planet had ever thought of this before! He also said it would effect the ECU. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Go to the dealership and get a set of standard VROD plugs 10R12s, been running them over a year, no obvious ECM or ion sensing KR function issues, unless you count less pinging. I wouldn't recommend seeking technical advice from the clerk at the parts super warehouse, but thats just me.

I love the spark plug claims that HP increases if you use their plug, especially 3 HP. But hey, it's your money and your snake oil .......

Ive tried most all the plugs.. HD, NGK, Autolite, Champ & E3 plugs in standard, Plat & Iridium and can say I cant tell a performance difference in any of them. Im sure a dyno may see a small difference between them. I was given a set of the HD 10R12 Dbl Plats earlier this year, gapped them to .038 & thats whats in it now. It runs just fine........

I use the autolite, tighten the nipple with a pair of pliers. It won't come loose.
