    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Supposedly... it's to stop harmonic resonance from vibrating the fins and making noise. mine were old and dried out. I threw them away. Making a bike look museum perfect is the only reason I can think of to replace them.

Have to admit that I?ve struggled at times deciding where to draw the line between performing a ?correct? restoration and wasting money/effort on silly details. I don?t mind spending $31 on something that?s worthwhile but honestly, these plugs definitely blur the line, particularly since they don?t match the originals, and if I had to do it again I wouldn?t have bought them.

If I was restoring an S to pristine condition, I'd probably do it too.

Hey Dan,

It's four on the outside and five inside just as srsupertrap said, so the mystery is solved. Installed the plugs on the outside cylinders but didn't feel like pulling the valve cover so the inside plugs with have to wait.
