Default Lt brown soot inside the exhaust tips

i own a 09 Roadking with Rhinehart slip ons and big sucker air cleaner. My local dearler has had the bike on a dyno and says the air -fuel is ok. The bike seems to run great but is the brown soot normal.

I have the same condition on the black tips of my Monster Ovals. Plugs are good and it runs good.
