Lucky score on Iridium plugs!
« on: October 26, 2006, 02:02:53 PM »
Almost thought the deal was to good to be true, but, took a chance. Surfing EBAY last week and found an offer for sale of Iridium Spark Plugs, proper size and ID number (according to NGK site) for the CB550K models. I have read that they average $8-$12 each. Ebay auction was for 8 new plugs for $15 plus $5 S/H ( $1.88 each before shipping). I ended up being the only bidder.

They arrived today, two brand new factory sealed 4-packs. First impression - That center electrode is definately small at 0.6mm. Can't wait to get them installed and see if they are worth the hype. Figured I saved over $50 buying thru EBAY.

Well they do say that they last OVER 40,000 miles in Honda VTX. Your bike may die before you have to change plugs again  8)

Mark, we fitted a set in the CR750 and you wouldn't beleive the transformation.
Money very well spent.
If you do foul one up, take care when cleaning.  ;)
