is your exhaust just stainless left to patina on its own? How many miles on the pipes

I recently added the H-D saddlebag liners. Still trying to figure out how to fit everything in there, many pockets are as yet unused.
One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't accommodate the owner's manual. There really should be a pocket that would fit one.

The wife christened billiard blue. The bike had not seen the rain yet and got to see plenty of it. We put 708km or 444 miles and 200 miles of that was in rain. It turned out to be a beauty day and the best riding roads were with the sun out. 101 at Chapeau to Wawa, a beauty of a road and Wawa to Sault St Marie on 17, running along lake superior. 243km or 150 miles of one the nicest stretch of road i've traveled, for that distance The forecast for the next two days is looking good. Hopefully thats the end of the rain until we get home.

The four day ride is complete. Put 600km or 370 miles on today. We put a total of 2565km, 1583 miles on. Bikes ran perfect. We only ran in the rain for 200 miles of that. The forecast when we left, wasn't near that promising. Thought id mention the price of fuel on our trip. We stopped in Chapeau on Wednesday, it is pretty secluded area, gas stations are far and few between. The premium 91 was running at $1.78 a litre or 6.75 a us gallon. The bonus we were running two bikes. LOL, But in wouldnt change a thing.

Rode 620 miles yesterday to my friends H-D dealership in Concord NC. It was their 8th anniversary party and it was a nice too see some friends and riding buddies.
Left VA and 6:00 am and it was nice and cool. Overall a sunny day, just hit one rain shower leaving NC. Returned home about 6:00 pm and within 5 minutes of getting home we had heavy rains and high winds. I was watching the storm on the informant system and it was surprisingly accurate.
The bike ran flawless, the FM 128 is so enjoyable to ride. The motor is quieter than stock and the exhaust just purrs until you twist the throttle. Did 220 miles between one gas stop and got 44mpg, all interstate about 80 mph. I’ve put about 4,000 very enjoyable miles on the 128 with no issues at all.
Now time to wash the bike and get ready for the next adventure...
