Nobody likes a Dry Wing - a cry for help

ive done that its 50/50 if it will work but if it don't you can always finish cutting the head off and use vise grips to get the inner part but its perforated and you can unscrew it with a screw driver like a chain saw sparkplug wrench

EUREKA!!! took a hammer to the bolt (made sure not to bang on the filter cover) banged on it a couple times and was able to loosen it with a wrench.

Oil Change (took about a week) Success.

front brakes are in though ill revisit for rebuild.

old spark plugs were burnt at the tip, replaced with Iridium X NGW.

does your bike have electronic ignition or points I don't know if the points will fire hot enough for your iridium plugs not saying they wont I just don't know on another note glad you got the bolt out that's the longest oil change ever .

im not sure, and i also cant remember if i went with Amazon's recommendation for 'what fits' or one that i saw around here on the Forum.

hahaa seriously! but ill have the 17mm bolt for the next change.

I ran iridium plugs in my 83 1100 but it had electronic ignition. they ran good. that's good

Go to Randakk and get one of his spin on oil filter adaptors. It really simplifies the oil filter replacement.

wow this man answers prayers, thanks, cursing the skies works.

the old plugs were charred at the tips, so these will have to do until i learn any better, whats the worst that could happen if they were highly uncompatible?

Iridium plugs will work fine; stop worrying.
