    Derek and I have a great relationship but I still am worried about my pocket book. :roflmao: He does great work. Yes, that oil was really clean, BP gave so many great tips that he is the one that is responsible for that turn out, I just executed on his direction. I hope that this build shows something that yu like Lucifer, I know I am liking it so far. :cheers:

    If you say so..
    I haven't bought a champion plug fora Harley in years.
    And my buddy's at Indy shops and one went to MMI and was #1 in his class, only puts Autolite plugs.
    If you want Champion plugs bring them with you..

    I personally don't think yer bike can tell a difference.
    If it does sounds like you need better spark plug wires..

    I think good quality plug wires are more important than what brand plugs one uses. I use Champions and gap mine at .028". Dang, .038" sounds like too much to me.

    MMI taught a Indy buddy of mine
    Autolite plugs for Harley
    NGK for metric bikes
    Autolite won't foul very easy
    Git a very good electrode in them .

    Buddy's 2011 road glide wasn't running good , he had just come down from Ft Hood. Sent him to O'Rilleys auto parts and got him to get some XS 4164 and go to Walley World and git some Starbrite Startron
    He's a Amsoil dealer and wanted to put Amsoil octane boost it.
    I said no, put the Startron in and I did the plugs.
    He took the bike out and came Back and said , man that made a huge difference.
    If you can't understand this .
    Run what you want .
    I'm tired of tryin to git the point across.

    People only listen to what they want to listen to.
    I spent the extra money and got the XS 4164 autolite iridium plugs
