Default Spark Plug Condition

So after replacing the plugs on my '13 1200Custom @ 11,585 miles this past weekend and "inspecting" them they look like they have normal wear and are in the proper condition based on my experience with plugs and the repair manual. Just wanted to confirm it with the knowledge on the forum.

I installed Cycle Shack slip ons after owning the bike a couple months. No other mods until about 8,900 miles when I had the stealer install a Big Sucker and new download. So ~2,700 miles with the current set up.

Thanks for sharing your opinions!

They look good to a little lean on fuel.
