yes, you are correct. if the plug is dark or wet it typically means you are running rich. most vehicles are designed to run a little rich, i'm going to try lean it out a tad.

i'm unsure of when the plugs were changed last, the idle on the bike was fluctuating and would stall sometimes if it dropped rpm's the new plugs seems to have resolved that issue.

entire can of seafoam into the carb's until the smoke subsided. the bike feels surprisingly smooth and my rough lower idle problem seems to have gone away.

How do you plan on doing the retrofit? I'm hoping to be back on an F2 this month and doing a projector retro as well

Debating to sand the fluted lenses or build a mold to make clear acrilic lenses
