RE: discolored pipes
Not certain of this but...
Bluing may mean you are running hotter than gold (more lean). However, it could just be a matter of time. I've got 1375 miles on my '07 and it is just starting to turn blue.
My father has an '07 EG with more miles and his turned blue (stock with SE Slip-ons only).
I just added an SE Stage I a/c, the Stage I ECM Download, V&H Ovals and a V&H Fuelpak. I am keeping an eye on that section of pipe to see what happens. I also will dyno the bike next week to see the new air-to-fuel ratio from 0-6000rpm.

RE: discolored pipes
Kuryakyn sells what they call, 'Bridge the gap' heat shield. It is $29.99 and the part number is 9196. And it fits between the two existing sheilds. HD is $79.95, part number 65694-05A. It is a one piece that replaces the front sheild and butts up against the second sheild. Hope this helps.
