kbran Posted January 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 19, 2007 Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the rear brake pad be FA123 instead of FA124. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al, ill second both of these recommendations. I have been using sparkplugs.com for some time. My Irridiums shipped was about 35.00. I would also seriously add the vent to the windshield. It does make a HUGE difference in warm/hot weather riding. Down here in Florida I had to take off my fork deflectors in the summer because of the heat. This year I left them on because the w/s vent did an excellent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted January 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 20, 2007 FWIW I had a set of Irridiums in my '86 and saw no real noticeable difference in peformance or fuel economy. I wont be spending $10 per plug for them again, thats just my observation on them, others may have had better results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bates Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted January 20, 2007 My theory for using Iridium plugs is, I'll run them for two years or longer. When I was in school we did many test with many different types of plugs and I do remember some of those test. These days there in automobiles and lasting 100,000 miles. That also telling me something. It was like three dollars more a plug from the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
