THey have about 100 miles on them and I thought it was oil. But it seems to be dry and regular smelling. Seems good to me and a decent running condition

Default Did you clean them?
The ceramic looks awful white to me. Did you clean them or is it running a tad lean...?

On my bike, I'm running a 46 slow and a 185 main in the stock CV, and the plugs come out almost identical to his. I think it has something to do with this ethanol gas.

Default very possible.
You know I keep forgetting about the way lead deposited onto the plug from the burn,, oxygenated fuel burns totally different.

What those plugs tell me is that your Gremlin Bell is off-centre....fix that and it's all good.

Haha Spanners. I think you and I wake up at the same time because we are always posting around the same hours in the day. I did pick at the electrode a little with my fingernail. These are actually off of my twincam. It's running great and I was just double checking the plugs. Semmed good to me. I haven't tuned it yet but that is soon to come
