I finally got my bike back on the street after 2 months.It took me a while to fiqure the starter was bad .I ordered a ultima starter but it did not fit right on the bike.Sent this back and had my old one rebuilt.I installed the old one and then the bike would turn over but would't start.I fiqured the plugs were fouled so I went to pep boys and bought some plugs.The bike fired up but it sounded like it was running on one cylinder.Finally I went too the local bigdog shop and bought plugs from them and the bike is running great.What a fucking relief.

I had this problem back in the 70,s with my cousins 650 Triumph. We did a tune up, new Champion plugs, running on one cylinder. After about a week of scratching our heads:job::argue: trying figure it out put the old plugs back in and it run like a champ.:2thumbs: I wouldn't use Champion plugs for a long time after that.:rant: Glad it was simple.

I used to use them for my shovelhead.
I was thinking when I bought the auto lites $10 was alot per plug.Not anymore worth every penney.
