Default NGK CM6 Where the @#$ & to buy?

So I've checked everywhere, and am trying to find somewhere to purchase NGK CM6 plugs for my engine, and I would prefer not to spend 8-15 bucks for shipping. I can't seem to find any retailers that stock these. (i.e. Pep Boys, Autozone, etc.etc.etc........)
Anyone help??

Most auto parts stores don't stock these but can usually get them from their warehouse. I know NAPA and Carquest both have them and these are national chains.

I have ordered these from NAPA in my local area. 24hr turn-around. About $ 9 a plug.

There is a guy selling them here in the classified. Get a bunch for 50 bucks or so. Also check ebay. I just picked up 4 NGK plugs for my daughter's ATV for 10 bucks including the shipping. The motorcylce shop wants 4 bucks a plug and it's a 40 mille round trip. By the time I pay for gas and waste my life making a run, I'm saving ten bucks sitting in the warm house waiting for them to get here.

I bought eight of these plugs from sparkplugs.com back when they were only $2 ea.

These have gone up like the price of gold, I guess I should have bought a thousand or more so I could retire early

Just a tip. NGK makes a fine wire center electrode plug. I don't know if they would have one in your heat range. I used to use Champion Gold Paladium plugs in my two cycle motorcycles years ago and had great results but they aren't made anymore. The plugs were never cheap and the Champion's center electrode was made of some platinum alloy. These fine wire plugs fire when other plugs foul out and last a very long time. The fine wire center electrode makes it easier for the spark to jump the gap. Sparks fire easier from sharp point or edge than a blunt one. Many good plugs are trashed when all you need is to file the center electrode flat again and file sharp edges on the side electrode with a fine points file. If price is an important consideration for you forget the fine wire plugs, if performance is - do it.

Azure hobbies sells them. After the exchange rate from Canadian $ to US $ it's a pretty good deal.

While you're at it pick up a cool single bolt CF spinner. That's what I did but found the spark plug after buying the spinner. Shipping was no extra. Sweet.

So the NAPA guy said there's none in any of his warehouses and they can't get them anymore.
I guess it's off to the Honda Powersports dealer after work.

My local Honda dealer didn't even know he stocked them until he looked it up in his computer. They fit a small Honda generator so if your dealer is strictly into bikes he won't know about them.

I think what you are seeing with the big difference in prices is dealers with new old stock, They will not know there has been a price increase until they reorder

That being said I have some in stock for $9.00 shipped, USPO regular mail, Priority add $3.00

Yeah, the Honda guy spent 5 minutes on the phone looking through their stock, then the order books and couldn't find them.
