They made such an improvement in my 750, I put them into my Voyager...  No difference was detectable.  However, that does not take away from their performance.  All that indicates is that my Voyager's ignition system is much more robust (higher voltage, higher current output from the coils) than what my 750 has.  Also, the Iridium plugs will last 50,000+ miles (100,000 miles in cars, typically).  I don't regret putting them into my Voyager, at all.  We ride it, two-up, hundreds of miles from home, just the two of us -- no other riders with us.  I feel more confident with them in the Voyager, as a result of what I experienced with my 750.  I'm a true believer.  On the Voyager Forum, many of those riders eschew the value of Iridium plugs, even though the improvements are not detectable by the seat-of-the-pants dyno.


I'm tempted to put them into my '75 Ford F100 truck, next, but that requires 8 plugs, not four...  Don't want to put a whole lot of $$ into the Blue Bomber.  
Cheers!
