A light brown or sandy looking deposit on the spark plugs is just what you want. No smoke and clean pipes tell me you have it right and you're not sucking any crankcase oil past the rings.
I didn't hear any out of place whines or clicks on the video so I'd say that the engine is mechanically sound.
With the rust in the gas tank and the carbs it was running like shit, mostly at mid range with lots of hesitation. I got the carbs clean and the tank coated and the problem has gone away, I'm pretty sure I got the mixture set just right too thanks to a free PDF file repair manual someone pass along to me.
In my humble opinion it is running as good as it is gonna get. Now I just need to put a few miles on it and see what I can expect for mileage and such.

also, it's a Honda (assuming we're still talking about the bike in the first post....I'm too lazy to go check). It'll go for ever.

Yes it is the bike in the first post and it is a Honda and hopefully it has about another 6-7k left in it.
And yes, that is big American miles, not those pussy kilometers you guys drive.
