Better burning spark plugs. Goldwing Docs, "The racers Secret"

I was perusing Goldwing Docs.com and found an article on better burning plugs.

The article is here: http://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12297

In essence the top wire (anode/cathode?), is cut back to the edge of the tip to allow a greater spark arc. I'm going to look for a cheap set of plugs and do this for the "FireFly". My thought is that while burning the bad gas and the carbs semi-clogged this could help the burning of the fuel. Also, I want to try a cheaper set of plugs to see how they perform. Trying to keep four bikes running and on the road is expensive. Saving every penny helps.
