The ring on that left plug looks a little wet Maybe a bit of oil? Both insulators look awfully white which could indicate you're running to lean or too hot of a plug. Right isulator also has some dark specs which indicates preignition/detonation. Ground straps look kind of gold. Could mean too lean or too high of a heat range plugs. But everybody says you can't go by plugs anymore. They say you have to use an AFR gauge.
no leaks. No smoke. Goes as it should when you give it gas. No wobble or pogying? Then dont worry.
Compare those plugs to your other bokes if you want. They probably look the same
If you went from mufflers to a less restrictive exhaust, there is a good chance it is running leaner than it should be. The ecm can only compensate so much. If you have a performance air filter as well you need to fatten(rich) it up a bit.
as Kingglide said, "pissin in the wind without numbers" but just from the visual you gave and looking at the goodies on the right side of your bike, I am guessing just a touch lean...Not melt down lean but better gas mileage than expected lean. Probably runs a little flat and gets 45-50 mpg easily? Bump the fuel up with a programmer a little or add restriction if you don't have baffles.

It's not too hard for everyone to hook up all sorts of stereo crap yet will not spring for a way to do what is more important.
When their bikes quit besides the road, just play the dam music louder....I will know what your priorities were........

🤣 very true. I have a power vision and it's the s#$%.
Function, over form indeed.
That includes seats, bars, sissy bars a d stainless rotors and huge brake calipers. LED’s and a paintjob everyone can see LOL
Listen to nobody! Put those plugs back in with a little dab of anti seize on the plug threads and ride it. That motor is running beautifully! Enjoy the bike as was intended.
