Iridium spark plugs are about the best you can get. They last about 2x as long as normal spark plugs do.
Supposedly they make better power and give better gas mileage as well, but that's iffy.
How friggin much is a Honda plug if you are getting an NGK iridium for $13 less? Do you mean $13 for all 4 or $13 each?
I got Denso Iridiums in my bike and they were I think $11-12 a piece.

Which is why I don't really buy factory plugs, filters, lube, etc...The aftermarket stuf is usually cheaper and just as good, if not better.
The factory loves to fuck you.

last time I bought Honda spark plugs they were NGk plugs with a little Honda stamp on them. I've heard nothing but good things about iridium plugs.

You have iridiums from the factory on a 929. Get the ngk or denso equivalents.

This is where I buy my plugs. I have run the irridium plugs for about 3 years and use the NGK. This place has great prices.
