Default nauseating smell.....

i installed the following on a 2010 ultra:

v&h true duals
fuel pak
v&h naked high flow intake

the bike runs ok at idle and cruising, but has slight hesitation through the rpm's.
i have a smell like burning oil that after a 100 mile ride you feel sick and get a headache. it doesn't appear to be running hot, no smoke etc

any ideads before i contact technical support?

It may be the Fuelpak isn't set up correctly; customer support should be able to help you fix it.

It's the baffles in the exhaust burning in.

Should fade soon and be gone after that.

Normal after new pipes are added.
