Default Holy Smoke - Help!!!

Just installed PVC, SE A/C and slip-ons. Started right up but once it got warmed up it's smoking like an old rust bucket! Rev it standing still or accelerate and a cloud of white smoke comes out of the pipes. Disconnected PCV at Fuelmoto's suggestions, and smoke remains. WTF?? Ideas??

I've seen a lot of pipes over the years that smoke they they are first put on, they burn off any assemblie oil, preservation oil, paint or god only knows what else, you didn't say how long you ran the bike so I could completely off base here.

Just arm chairing it here but sounds like your PCV was not adding fuel and it was running lean because of the added airflow. Just an idea.

So would changing to SE A/C without remap or PCV cause bike to run so lean that it would billow out smoke?? Out of my league here!

W/O the Power Commander, your stock ECM would not be able to handle the the AC and pipes cause you did not have the Stage 1 software downloaded to your ECM. Are you sure you have the right map for your Power Commander?
