Default How does this plug look to you.

I can read plugs but not much exp on a air-cooled twin. Looks lean to me. Runs fine and seems cool enough.

Do you ever use anti seize on the threads of the sparks plugs? Ben

A plug whith white, yellowor light tan to rusty brown powdery deposit indicates balanced combustion. The deposits may be cleaned off at regular intervals.
A small amount of anti seize to the threads. Hand tight and then 12-18 ft-lbs
Thats according to manual.
Kroozeabout.

Does not look bad.
I would change them because of the outside corrosion and use a little antisieze as suggested.
