I use ngk. However I modify them slightly by closing the gap on the front one.
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

Were the ones with the smaller gap sold to you by a bloke in Southampton at a vast sum of cash purporting to be rare MoriMuraDitchfield micro adjusted performance upgrades for those who like waiting by the roadside? No, still too soon? :lol:

Just make sure you close down the gap on the front plug.

Just to explain Geoff...Rob was having serious issues with his newly rebuilt bike...Turns out he had managed to drop one of the new plugs he had put in closeing the gap...It didnt help the running at all...

As said DO NOT touch the gap on an irridium plug...
