Re:What did you do to your bike today 3 Years ago  
So far this winter I've replaced my cracked windsheild, added big city thunder baffles to get away from straight open pipes, fitted a 3 pouch windsheild bag to my windsheild, added a 12v charger to the handlebars, added a phone mount to the handlebars, fitted a flamed brake pedal cover to match the floorboards, added a dual flag mount to the rear, added flamed iso grips, added a custom stitched ED seat complete set including rider backrest passenger pad and rear backrest pad all featuring flames, ordered led turn signals front and rear including a load equalizer, ordered a signal dynamics brake modulator, ordered flamed highway pegs and longhorn mounts. Small things all around that have really changed the bike around from stock.

No they are not OK!!!! They show an extreme lean condition. That is why your pipes are Blue. On a fuel injected water cooled engine a spark plug will have a whiter porcelain but not quite as white as the one in the first pic. Problem is are bikes are not water cooled or all fuel injected. The plugs in my pic are exactly what they should look like at they AFR readings I quoted in my post.

The only thing on those plugs that look OK is the lack of wear on the center electrode. All that means is that they do not need to be replaced at this time.

These plugs are from my Bike set to a AFR of 13.5 idle and about 14- 14.5 AFR cruise. Not the best pic but I think you should get the idea of the proper color.

Swapping LE leather onto the new shield. It'll get a mink oil treatment and polish, along with the bags. Sleet and ice for the next 2-3 days here.
