Default One head pipe discolored
Today I noticed that tge headpipe for the front cyl is rainbowed under the heat shield bit the rear one is not. Performance wise the bike is 99% stock. All i have is slip on mufflers. Should i be concerned?

Completely normal for both pipes to discolor. But if it’s new I’m sure the rear will soon be the sale.

If you're truly concerned pull both plugs and compare them, post pictures of them here too.

Rear pipe on my '05 Softail has been that way for the last 10 years. Plugs always check fine, bike rides and runs 100%.
