Wanted to post up a big thank-you to xschop! I got my plugs today and put them in, took me 20 minutes or so, I didn't remove the valve cover, just loosened all the bolts and lifted it up a bit. Popped the old leaky plugs out with a screw driver then cleaned the holes with a rag and some carb cleaner. Then slipped the new machined plugs in with a little coating of black RTV.

When I get a chance, I'll stick mine in. Glad you like them.
I hope you saw that there was a "Part-off" side that is not as pretty as the machined side. I will put mine in when I put in the new Cam chain tensioner and can look at the chain to make sure it doesn't skip time.......Chop
I like using 220 grit to rebrush any billet part that gets a scratch.....JAT
Actually I didn't notice that one side was nicer then the other, honestly they are shinier then any other part of the bike anyways so it doesn't matter to much to me. Maybe I'll check them this winter when I pull the motor to polish it all up.
