do you have a link?
Also you need to be aware that they may affect the way the bike runs if yours have ION sensing.
I have found that most plugs that claim to do something special do nothing that the standard plug cannot do.
the only aftermarket plugs i have found that make any difference were split fire - and then it was just better starting from cold on my metric.
Iridium tip plugs are only any good if you plugs are inaccessible such as a CBR (standard now on Hondas) or a Buell as they last longer but the cost is astronomical ($80 for 4 in the UK)
On the HD the plug is so accessbile it pays to use the one from HD and they are cheap enough to replace with every service if you wanted to.

Multiple (3) electrodes, It'll throw your ION sensing into a rage like Hobbit said above. No more knock retard for the times when your engine pings from poor fuel.

Use the stock HD plugs.

Use the HD plugs.

When my SS carb was running to rich, I went throught 3 sets of the triple electrode plugs. Almost had to take a loan out for spark plugs.

I went to the HD dealer and got their plugs. My wallet and my bike are a lot happier.

thanks Danger they are what i thought they were, i would never put them in my lawn mower let alone my bike, i will be buying very reluctantly the iridium plugs for the buell only as i have to remove most of the bike to change the plugs
