FYI anti-seize takes forever to burn off

Yes, was hoping it would have stopped but it still smokes just out of both pipes and not just the left now due to it being the stock pipes.

swap the O2 sensors from front to rear, clear the codes and check and see if anything changes.

Just exactly which exhaust header and which mufflers did you initially install on the bike?

Yeah there's enough smoke to fill my garage and I've ran it 2 days for hrs trying to see if it would burn off and if it was the anti seize then it would smoke both pipes and not just the left

Well that's assuming you inadvertently got it inside both pipes, not just on the bung threads. Is it still smoking now with the factory stuff back on?

Yes it's still smoking with stock pipes back on without any anti seize used.

If it didn't smoke before the first pipe change, but smokes after, then continues to smoke after original pipes are re installed (if I'm following you correctly) I would have to believe the O2 sensor may have been damaged, impact or antiseize, damaged pin in the plug, pulled wire........

Does the Fuelpack have the ability to monitor data? Pull up the O2 sensors and monitor them. If one is way out of range from the other or not changing value you may have something to go on. If it's throwing a code then trouble shoot it, the Harley electrical manual is a great piece of literature to have. Specific to your bike of course

O2's appear to be good, I did watch the Fuel pak sensors on both O2's and they looked to be right there together. Can't get in at Harley for another 2 weeks and he looked at it outside and said he could smell where it was running hot or rich.
