Thanks again for the write up! I just got done changing the plugs, and it was a breeze!! It took me a little bit over an hour, but that was just because it was my first time doing it and I took a little extra time.

The only thing I would recommend to others doing this is to definitely unbolt the radiator! It takes just a few minutes and saves a ton of time. I unbolted it when I got to the #1 plug, but left it unbolted until I had replaced all of the plugs. It helps a ton on the #1, but also helps when replacing the #2-4 plug wires.

My plugs were damn near black when I pulled them! It had been way too long (16k, the amount of time that I have owned the bike) and I can't wait to take it for a spin and feel the difference.

Thanks again!
