I've now installed the Plustars. I set the gap at .32 and buttoned it up, turned the key and it started instantly. I took it out around our block and holy crap, what a difference. I haven't been on the highway yet but based on 0-45mph it's gonna be good. I have a 200 mile ride planned tomorrow so I will know more then, so far, thumbs up.
So, for those of you that wanted to know how to do this.
1. First make sure you have a 5/8" Long socket (thin wall or normal, if normal you will need to grind it thin)
2. You will need to grind the outside diameter to match that of the TR supplied plug socket (easier than it sounds)
3. Remove the upper front right side plastics.
4. Pry the grey (outside right) condenser boot up from the outside plug and fish the condenser and boot up and out of the way
5. Blow the debris from around that plug and use the 5/8" socket to remove it
6. Place a clean, lint free rag into the plug hole to keep further debris out of it
7. Pry the inside (all black) condenser and boot up and clear of the second plug and blow out any debris
8. Test your socket to insure that it will fit within the hole in the head where the plug resides and re-grind if necessary
9 . Remove the plug
10. Gap your new Plustar. I used .32 as my start point and it doesn't require changing
11. Install new spark plug (black condenser and wire) and torque to specifications
12. Re-install the condenser (black condenser and wire) and add your O ring or however you intend to keep the boot tight
13. Install the new (grey condenser and wire ) side spark plug and torque to specifications
14. Re-install the condenser (grey condenser and wire) and add your O ring or however you intend to keep the boot tight.
15. Start, smile, ride, smile more.
With the new plug in place I want to place self amalgamating tape here
but found mine was hardened. Instead I wire tied until I can get
more tape.
The slop at the condenser head that everyone has been describing
The entire operation took less than an hour but I will have to repeat
some steps when I get the self amalgamating tape.

For the record I now have 29,800 miles on my bike. I am going to post photos of my old OEM plugs for Magoo. I've had these for months and forgot to post them. The debate was whether the LC2 I installed would carbon up the plugs and jug. This is what they looked like with I pulled them at 22,400 miles. I am pretty sure that by now I would have experienced problems with carbon build up from adding fuel but so far, so good. Knock wood.
This is the inboard plug
And the outboard plug
