Did you scope the cylinders just because you can? Or is it good practice to do so as part of Winterizing?

Personally I too don't think you have anything to worry about. Rack up a few more thousand miles and have a look again if you're that worried seems a great plan as mentioned.
Yes, finished our last ride of a couple hundred miles and while winterizing I checked color of plugs.(they looked good) I have a bore scope so I took a look. No reason other than that. I feel comfortable with it and will check again next year.
thanks

That doesn't look worrisome to me. I'd do as suggested - ride the crap out of it next year and look again - or don't look again!

Seriously, if you aren't smoking or consuming oil, I'd just enjoy it.
