Any auto parts supply that carries NGK plugs should have them or be able to get them for you. I get mine at Parts Source around here.

I have been running them now for 2 months and find that the bike starts quicker with better fuel economy and get up and go... certainly worth the $$$

NGK DPR7EIX-9 are the plugs you need if you want to install Iridiums.

OK I could not find them because I was looking up wrong #------Ever done that?--Got them online last time and they helped my old 1100 ace which was a slow to start at time machine. After the install of the iridiums starts were very quick even in cold weather. It made me feel all good about them
