    i haven't ordered the colortune yet and this is also the first bike i've rebuilt carbs on... so i'd like to get some feedback from you guys about how you think these plugs look.

    these were brand new plugs. they have been used for the synch and about 200 miles.

    the bike seems to run really good.

    Please, please, please keep everything about your project in one thread. It gets really difficult to keep track of what's been done if it's spread out over multiple threads.

    The plugs are all in the ballpark, but I'd like to reiterate what JBurch said. How they look changes depending on how the bike was being ridden.

    They look lean to me , I think a half turn out on the mixture screws might help unless you have a color tune plug ( highly recommended) go run high speed , chop the throttle stop and pull the plugs see what they look like a light brown is best . Cheers
