So to make a long story short, I got hammered after watching Rossi kick but the other day and left my bike at a friends. He rode it over to the house and noted he thought he fouled a plug. I rode my son to Karate and indeed it was missing. I took it apart and ended up literally tearing a plug wire. Possibly already torn anyway. I just ordered an ignition wire kit from Iron Machine. I hope it will be a quality set-up. Does anyone have any input on that product. Also I am running Screaming Eagle HD B12P plugs that ran well. The kit comes with standard NGK's are these sufficient or should I buy some like the ones I have in there, Split fires or iridium NGK's or what? Just fishing for input on Plugs and wires. I know the moral to the story, dont do too many Irish Car Bombs while watching Moto GP.

I've been running the Iron Machine 8mm plug wires with NGK Iridums for over 5,000 miles now and have had zero problems with them. I have not tested the resistance of the wires lately, but it's still running so good I haven't felt like taking them off to see what they're like now. I'd recommend them. As for the standard NGK's, I don't know about those. Haven't tried them. Are they properly heat-rated for our bikes?

Thanks for the input on the kit!! I have been using the Harley equivalent of the NGK Irridiums for the last 7000 miles without issue but do not see the same exact Buell logo plugs anywhere. I have an XB12S with the factory race kit and wondered if the standard plugs will do supplied with the kit,or if I need to go with the irridiums? I dont want to do this twice. Anyone have a opinion? What heat range is best?
