What's the deal with them then?

Been told they are sh1t for the firestorm and any carb bike..

I've always used them on my storm and srad and oil cooled 750
Don't seem to be bad and get good life out of them

I've never had any quarrels with Iridium's. Like Lloydie I'm going for the Brisk, Brinsk whatever they are called next time.

I love my Ridiums.

But not as much as I love my Brisk electrodeless ones.
But then I haven't fitted those yet, they may not be as lovely after I've tried them, but I'm enjoying looking at them for now.

I find that it's not as easy to read mixtures from Ridiums, but hey, no pain no gain.

Oh, by the way, if anyone wants to order those Brisk ones, enter this code at checkout:

It might need capitals, not sure.

It'll get you a lovely Tony Special 8% discount, probably, if it works, so sue me if it don't etc.

Not a bad price if they do what they say on the tin

Hey All

Not an expert but :-

Depends on the engine, fuelling settings and ignition system used, on my old clunker ( Not Storm ) the iridiums did not perform as well as nomal NGK's on the dyno or road. (-10 ish bhp).even after some tweeks.......
So to say they are better across the board may not be correct.

Again, no idea about Storms..........

Cheers
Matt

That's interesting and -10 is a big difference.

It might be worth getting some before and after dyno results on these then.
