    Spark plugs are one of the biggist gimmick merchandise in the aftermarket automotive arena. Just buy good ol copper electrode plugs and you'll likely be happy with them for ~30k miles. Copper is second most conductive metal of the elemental metal. More conductive than iridium, ruthenium, and platinum. Copper does wear out at a quicker pace but they offer the best fuel economy for 30k miles and they are less than half the price of iridium. Replace them and your good to go. I want to check for vacum leaks that often anyway so might as well replace the plugs while you are doing this. I run Copper and have never popped a code because of them. Cheers

    Thanks for the video, I just got in my spoiler and decided to go straight into the amazing goop route. I let it set for 72 hours and it’s on there for sure. Definitely not coming off. To get the stock spoiler off I found it the easiest to use a heat gun, wedge, fishing braid (the braid rarely snapped) and some goo gone. After taking the stock off I was left with a mess like you had. I used a heat gun and a hard plastic cast iron scrapper and it came off very easy. Within 2 hours I took the old one off and Installed the new one. These videos helped a lot and hopefully for the future my tips can help others.

So it was actually really usefil to see your 20L Osprey as most drybags I see out there are cylinder shaped, but that one is rectangular which seems it would make it pretty ideal for the panniers.
