Question
So I just installed a full exhaust on my 19 Softail Slim...went to start it for the first time to listen to it and the pipes were smoking..is this normal? Like is it just adjusting to the pipes?

Did you clean them off before you started the bike? Could be oil from your hands that rubbed on your new pipes.

Yep - normal on a new pipe. Don't worry about it - but also don't breath in the fumes. If it's ceramic coated that **** can be really nasty.
