Default Blueing Pipes

I just had V&H slip ons put on my new 2010 Heritage. Nothing else done to the bike but slip ons, no intake, fuel remapping nothing. When I got home I realized my pipes had blued. Someone at the shop told me to watch for that. Does that mean my bike is running too hot and am I risking engine damage?

Too lean for sure. Get a tuner and a tune.
