I seen gun barrels that glow red @ times. @ 800 rounds a minute you can bet your life they are glowing. Does that mean that the rifles are running lean?
Nope, means you are running a high lead concentrated fuel....
Also about the plugs. What would be a sign of it running lean. Would they be chalky and white? Just off the top of my head. Check out this site....http://www.4secondsflat.com/plug_chart.html Compare your plugs to this and you should be able to tell if you are running to lean or not.
Bobnehoc here are pics of my plugs. I took the bike out for a 30 min ride local. Took pics when i got back. Could you read this picture, i sure cant. Bike feels great. Motor feels real smooth. I let it idle outside when i got back for about 2 min and no red. Granted it is during the day.

Usually you should start thinking about changing barrels after 200 rounds ...

pontiac69, Your plugs look fine and I do not think you have anything to worry about except maybe bluing your pipes. Just keep an eye on it. Like I stated before I have never seen my pipes do this on my current ride. Pipes will get hot and sometimes they might glow from extreme heat. I have seen this before on high performance engines in cars and when bikes run lean. You should definitely get a tuner as there are so many advantages to having one. A richer mixture, which will give you better performance and the engine will run cooler just to name a few. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else....

My M240H is air-cooled.....let her run for a minute sitting still and she glows, but flying at 100kts and she stays cool as a cucumber.
