I've got an opinion on longer lasting spark plugs; they are not for everybody because they are going to cost more.

How much would you pay for one set of spark plugs that would go 100,000 miles, don't foul or affect gas mileage or performance, and don't ever need gapping?

7/8" on the axle.

My stock plugs (05 XB9SX) are now at 20k miles, and things seem to be running great. Ditto my old cyclone, I think I replaced those factory plugs at 20k miles, not because they needed it, but because I felt guilty...

03 XB9R with 45,000 miles I have 25,000 miles on my current plugs, having the same experience as Reepicheep no problem runs great. They are the standard HD10R12A plugs. No need to spend money on high dollar plugs.
