    Trick question, Mike?

    If both plug brands fire, how you going to know if one fires "better"?

    A dyno I guess?

      Champion built plugs for H-D for decades, they were identical to OEM except for the knurlinng pattern. Many folks have their own favorites, AC, NGK, Bosch, Autolite, etc. The only thing I can tell you is try others that interchange and see if you notice a "seat of the pants" difference.
      So what oil do you use??

        I run splitfire plugs Mike. You can definitely feel the difference from a performance aspect. Seems to start easier also. When i used to feel frisky, i would index the plugs~this always worked on any plug. Good Luck.

            If you run harley oil, Mike,...

            You might as well run harley plugs.

            If a bike always starts with one primed kick, M.A.D.,..

            How will you know if a trick plug makes it start easier?
