Ditto for me, I have a '91 Sportster 1200 that is stock except for pipes.
The splitfires made a noticable increase in low end power on this bike. Also
the motor starts easier and runs smoother when cold than with the stock plugs.
I even compared them against a set of brand new plain HD plugs and a set of
brand new Accel plugs. The HD plugs make the engine run like crap when cold and
I had to keep the enrichener out for an extended time to keep it running which
fouls the plugs fast. The Accels have slightly better cold starting performance
but I could tell no difference from the HD's once the motor was warmed up.
With the SplitFires, I don't need to use the enrichener nearly as much to keep 
the engine running after a cold start.
