Default Stock pipe blueing

It probably is but was wondering. My stock pipes underneath the heat shield is really blueing. Normal? If it is I don't think Harley did a very good job in covering the stock pipes with their heat shields. Blueing is too noticeable.

Never mind. Did a search and saw that it is normal for the stock pipes. Still think they should have put heat shields on that cover the pipes better. But whatta I know. Maybe they can't.

Actually they sell an extended shield that covers that spot. Wonder why they didn't put it on in the first place$$

Because then they couldn't charge you $79.95 to add it later when you saw how crappy the stock setup was.

If you buy one of the over $30,000 CVO bikes, they do come with the better shield from the factory..........(big of them, isn't it??)

By the way, Kuryakyn sells a little filler piece that eliminates that gap for around $30.

It is not quite as slick as thereplacement Harleyextended shield, but the price is right especially if you buy it from a place like M&M at a 25% discount.
