Default 2021 M8 114 w/53K - Borescope

I recently acquired a borescope, and decided to take a look inside my bike's cylinders.
Here's a video of the front cylinder:

Rear cylinder:

This is a 2021 FLHTK with 53,000 miles. Is this normal? I think I see some cylinder scoring and a bunch of carbon. This bike is completely stock. I still have ESP. Should I try to get my dealer to do anything?

The rear looks like it ate a bit of water.

Front looks "normal" for a stock engine that has the crankcase breather feeding into the intake.
