I think it's a thing us Henderson riders have to get used to , it isn't a bad bite but looks good in the wet and dark when the spark goes up to your fingers and eaths out on the handlebar if you have a finger too near the metalwork , even better if you are waiting at traffic lights with an unsuspecting mate and touch them and put your knee on the plug , I wonder why my mates keep away when we stop ? have fun , Ken

I've gotten pretty used to the "bite" of plug #4. I've trained my right leg to be bow-legged to avoid this.

Actually, the only time I get "bit" is when I'm parking or busy looking at a pretty girl...

My problem is that I like to ride in the summer in shorts and a T-shirt - my right leg turns red from the heat of the exhaust. Haven't found a solution to this yet.

I've often used the Champion D16 but I prefer the Autolite 386 because the body of the plug has a matte black finish...very antique looking.

Top it off with a knurled or "thumb" brass nut for the plug wire and you have the factory brochure look. Those brass nuts are available at www.RestorationStuff.com.

Then when you're riding corner hard, leaning your leg inward, and get acquainted with the bite of the exposed rear plug.

No aftermarket aluminum plug guard for the truly intrepid K.J. rider!
