Helps continuity if you don't start a new thread for something related to an on-going thread.

They look fine, not too lean. Thus, your bike is probably operating normally, rather than abnormally hot, which was the question we were trying to get insight to by looking at your plugs.

From the wiki there's this link to check for yourself: http://www.dansmc.com/Spark_Plugs/Spark_Plugs_catalog.html (http://www.dansmc.com/Spark_Plugs/Spark_Plugs_catalog.html)

If you are just going to sell the bike to get a car, skip the K&N lunchbox, since that will need a complete rejet, not just a few washers.
