what looks better?

Just got back from a 300 mile road trip from Texas to Monterrey! Only have to fill up 3 times, $15 total.

Brand new spark plug, this is after full throttling a couple times, just bought a new carbon fiber Yoshimura pipe and started to see tiny speckles and spots starting to spread on the exhaust pipe and change color, is that a sign of over heating? i stopped running it (10 min runs) after 3 days because i'm worried about overheating, i only drove it like 5 miles through stop lights over a 3 day period, average 1.3 miles each day, i'm waiting on the mailman for a bigger main, do i need to go i little bit richer one the main jet? i upped it from 87 to 98 when i installed the new exhaust and new plug, right now im at 42 idle/ 98 main, clip moved 1 down meaning needle has moved 1 up to make the needle a bit leaner through mid range.

Anybody got any tips on how I can avoid stripping this drain plug filter cap? I have a prima magnetic plug filter cap to replace it with and that's a 17 mm I tried going with the 17 on it and it stripped it with both a 12-point and a flat, but I think I would have to remove the exhaust to get a proper six point socket fit it on there, I already changed the oil and have the magnetic drain plug installed with the washer. Anybody got any tips? I have pb blaster.

I'm having a seat customized and I don't know which one looks better lol I'm really digging the alligator skin, but cheeky seats don't do cognac or two-toned so I think I might have to separate the material, I gave them the tobacco as an example as a base for the alligator material as a replacement. I'm also getting a ruck rack with a ruck seat and a matching seat cover to go with it.

How can I prevent wind from tipping over my bike with the cover on? Facing it in the direction of the wind helps, It happened twice in the season...btw this is the only location where my apartment complex allows me to park the bike, would a 20lb dumbbell work on the floor board? Have you guys ever dealt with this? It ripped a hole in the side of the cover and now I have to replace it, it's got a thick 6ft cable lock wrapped around a solid metal pipe where the water drains behind it next to that manhole cover, geo fence, alarm, GPS tracker, steering lock, cover, and an owner with a gun in Texas that sleeps 12ft away from where it's parked. Always locked. Window slightly open for disturbances in the force. Plus it helps me breathe.
