What’s the problem with them exactly?

They stay stuck in the closed position.
Kinda odd you have went thru 3 sets. I see them go out but not that many times. But with that said i could see it if the caps might have a hole in them and letting water get in there and rust them or possible rich combustion chamber and carbon build up causing them to stick.
Betcha theres a temu coupon for that.that’s just wrong sorry. But seriously I would just stick with the ones you have and clean them. They are like anything else on our bikes and require maintenance.
I have manual releases on my 2000 vintage sport. They are nice to have but they can get clogged up to and stick. Just so you know. Neither is foolproof.
True. But at least manuals won't kill my battery. Plus, they are 1/10 the cost of electrics.
Well as I see it your biggest problem is that the electric CR’s that thread into top of your head are 13.99mmx20 threads per inch. And most if not all manual CR’s are designed to fit a .650” 10mm x 1.0mm threaded hole. I assume you are planning on plugging the hole in the chimney & drill and tap your heads in the spark plug area? Or possibly find a 14mm plug to put in the head and drill & tap a 10mm opening in it? Personally I’d stick with the electric. You can possibly take yours out and get them working again & reinstall. If your battery is getting old try a Braille AGM from Summit Racing. Amazing cranking power. Good luck!!
B&B does good work.. I have had crank shafts done by them
So now with that deal, you're completely changing the heat range of your spark plug.
They seem to be good for maybe 2 or 3 turns of the engine before they close. Same thing with the push button ones, you drill in the heads by the spark plugs. Also, IIRC, S&S used to sell manual releases, that replaced the electric ones. They ran a cable upto the handle bars, to operate them.
I think Brad tried those on his BigDog. As I recall he said they were ok for a CR until he could replace the electric ones. But yeah I could see having engine issues using those. I guess everyone needs to learn for themselves. I hope he’s happy with his choice!So now with that deal, you're completely changing the heat range of your spark plug.
I can't imagine that CR fitting in the amount of space available. Try rocking the cylinders a couple of times to get them in the mood to move and then push in the front CR as you press start. Also goes almost without saying have a healthy battery.
