Should have come to Tombstone... I might have cut you a deal.

If I'm going to "give" them away I would rather donate them as auction fodder for the Lukenbach ride.
My opinion is that they are all hype. I don't think that they stand a chance in hell of lasting as long as they claim they will (made in Taiwan by the way). I can't say one way or the other about the HP increase claims EXCEPT I haven't seen or heard of a followup test run. Say... something after 5k - 10k on the plugs. Maybe it's because almost nobody is riding any distance right now? I have no idea. If a friend of mine hadn't pointed out some things about them when I let him see them in Tombstone I probably would have put them in before I left Tombstone.
I really would have liked to have tested them. I may do it yet. I'm scheduled to go see Johnnycheese in a little less than two weeks but I don't have any confidence in them so they'll probably sit on the shelf. But you never know

I might get adventurous and give them a try. At this point I would have rather spent the money on stock plugs but I didn't.
I wish I could've come to Tombstone... Just couldn't swing getting someone to cover for me for that long.
I'm extremely skeptical of real HP gains from plug replacement, which is why I would love to see dyno reports from a blind test... say a set of current plugs, a set of brand new plugs of the same make/model as current plugs and a set of Ubers, with the person doing the dyno run not knowing which set is on the bike at any given time, with, say, two or three runs per set of plugs.
I am equally weary of the 'saves gas' claims... which is where your ride report would've been great.
But, as I mentioned earlier, I have no trouble believing that you'd have an extremely long service interval with an iridium plug and an engine that's properly tuned. The bit about chroming the plugs does have me concerned, seems ghetto and non-functional.
