Has anyone tried Iridium spark plugs

For the small difference in gains I think I will stay with stock plugs. I probably ride 10k max per year so we are talking changing every 3 years ...not a big deal...plus I like to see what they look like anyhow.

On a Nomad it is really easy to get to the plugs. On vehicles like the VN2000, you have to take the gas tank off, so it's a real PITA. On bikes like that iridium makes sense, and is in fact what Kawi supplies on the 2000.

Thanks for all the info everyone. Think I'll stay with stock plugs. The Iridium plugs are available at G-Man industries. They make the Bullydod processor and are $7.95 each for the plugs.

I have changes in mind. K-N air filter and Cobra duals, but have completed them yet.Will probably do the bafflectomy first. Cheaper than the Cobras.
yes i did, i have tried everything to get rid of the pinging, i finally decided to buy a cobra FI2000R it's a plug and play unit, very easy to install, my bike now runs sweet, i do run on those same plugs they don't really help with the pinging, but my bike runs great with them, and the cobra unit, and after about 4000 miles since the install. i still get around 39-40 miles per gallon. and that's pushing a constant 85-95 with some runs steady at 100 miles per hour. although, some people might argue with that, it is the honest truth.
