Isn't that Funni
"True Blue" I only said that because of the blueing to the pipe (that totally matches the paint, cooooool) but is caused by high heat which in turn can be caused be a lean condition. Looks like you have at least a stage I install, if so did you re-map your ecm? Because of the a/c and pipes its moving more air and needs more fuel that only a re-mapping could do. Looks real sweet though.
Thanks. My license plate frame has that engraved on it. I guess it's my statement against stereotypes. I've ridden motorcycles since I was 11 years old, including motocross racing as a teen and a lot of hill climbing on dirt bikes. I started riding street at 18 and this is my 14th bike, and my favorite. 
Running lean. I don't know about that. I have zero mechanical ability. How do I check for "lean". I figured it was due to the design. I read somewhere that a guy happen to run into Jesse James and complained that the pipes were really hot and could he make a heat shield for him. I guess JJ called him a p*ssy, etc. and he got no heat shields. The dark blue matches my color quite well and I like the idea of the entire pipe being blue instead of chrome so I'm going to try the ceramic coating.

Love your bike and followed your build from the beginning. I like the exhaust you have on it currently but think something like the ones you had in the second picture would look awesome to. Have you ever looked at something like a skirt blower style? think it would go good with your bike. just a thought

Thanx for the comps and input.
I have lookin at my current set up and I realized there is about 6 inches of pipe behind the rear mount. If I want to try a little something for free I can zip off that 6 inches and just slide the baffles into the pipes. I am thinkin it will look kinda unique. Will give a shot tomorrow.
Ya know, not that the bike is "unique" at all!!!LOL

Lookin at th side view, I can trim off the 6" at the ends. There will still be about 3 inches of black pipe beyond the header wrap.
I think it will look pretty cool, Price = free, risk of torque loss = zero!!!
