Heat question...

Just installed my VH Pro-Pipe HO on my '10 Fatboy Lo...gotta say...it is very nice! Love the low rumble! Also installed a Screamin' Eagle heay breather kit.

I am scheduled for the dyno this coming Tuesday, but thought I would take it for a spin first...so a few questions:

1. Should I absolutely wait until the dyno is complete before I ride the bike?

2. I noticed a tremendous amount of heat coming off the rear cylinder where the pipes go into the exhaust port. Never noticed it before with the stock pipes. Is this normal with these pipes or is it running too lean at the moment?

Thanks in advance!

I'd park it and forget about till Tues. These bikes are very lean from the factory and you just made it even more so. You do have fuel mgr. to go with them pipes and air cleaner?
