Default Spark plug temp range?

Hi All,
I just put a pair of Vance and Hines straight shots on my 06 Suzuki C50 and am going to add a K&N filter next week. Can anyone tell me if I need to change the temp range of my spark plug, or any other changes? A friend of mine bought a Honda 1800 VTX a few years back and the guy's at the shop told him to change the plug.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much,
Ken

You may find the extra breathing from the K&Ns cause the motor to run a little leaner but I see no reasons to run different plugs. Pilot jets may need to be turned out though...about half a turn.


Good luck
