Thanks on the plugs. As for Joe's, it's a shame about the architect's screw up on the steel, or they'd have been open by now. We've known Joe for just about forever, and it's a shame seeing a nice guy have to endure this drug-out construction deal, especially in this economy. I just can't figure what he is thinking with all that space. Banquets upstairs? Maybe his catering is that big he needs the extra space. Between Rosati's and Cruisin', I'm sure they are giving him a run, too.

 

So with the "spark plug issue" is there a fix for the '04-'08 models. I have an '06 and have read different things, but was not sure.

 

There is no "fix" but there are specialized techniques for removing the plugs and extracting them if they break - and for installing new ones. Champion also has a one piece plug.
