general stores like walmart wont have them, and any auto store will have to order them in.
best bet is to check honda dealer or some other motorcycle shop and they should have them in stock.

i found a place that will order them
but they can only order the BPR8HSA - thats the one for extended high speed riding - i think ill need the standard BPR6HSA . but no one has that on the inventory/order list

darat, FYI the Splitfire plugs are just over-priced plugs that give only NORMAL performance. Have you noticed they stopped making thosse wild claims in their ads? They're not bad plugs, but they aren't any better than a normal resister plug. I have more info if you want it, but if there were any advantage, you'd find them at top levels of racing. They're not there.

There isn't one...................you're looking in the wrong place for extra performance. Atomikpunx probably hit the nail on the head.
Some plugs last longer than others, especially at certain heat averages. I suggest you use ANY good plug the equivalent of the BPR6HSA. Performance gains come from increased respiration, balance, compression, displacement, etc. We're just setting fire to gas here............................the brand of "match" doesn't make it burn with more power

yeah better the spark the more it is completed the combustion so more power to the eng.

both of yall are right. a "performance" plug wont do much on stock application, but once ur tuned (bigger cyliner, pipe, etc) then you'll see some gains from these plugs.
