Sparkplugs

This may have been asked before, but the search function didn't find anything...

Which iridium plugs suit the 1300 best? I don't know if mine has them already, or how to tell, but if it doesn't then I want to fit a set.
THERE ARE OLD RIDERS, AND THERE ARE BOLD RIDERS, BUT THERE ARE DAMN FEW OLD AND BOLD RIDERS.

Keep the dirty side down.

1984 1200 Goldwing
1981 GL 500 Silverwing
1980 CX500

I've got iridium plugs in my ST...

It's crazy but they are cheaper to get from the UK than to buy them in Oz.

The one's you need are CR7EIX...

This is the place I got them from: https://www.driven2automotive.com/shop/ngk-cr7eix-7385-spark-plug/

You need to be careful who you buy them from as there are apparently counterfeit plugs getting about.

A touch over 40 quid for 4 plugs which works out to be 70 odd dollars Aussie...and that includes postage.  :thumbs

Did a service today and pulled a plug to see what they were.

Iridium already fitted, which is good.
