Default Exhaust
New to trikes, just picked up an 18 Tri-glide last weekend. About 500 miles on the bike. On all my touring bikes I have had the right pipe darkened first, on the trike the left side is darkening first. Anyone else seen this? Thanks

#33 is an extension/reducer which may cause a little extra back pressure causing the left side to darken quicker.

How Much are you paying for the 93 Octane ethanol free over there in Georgia? I am south east of B'ham and I can't find 93 ethanol free anywhere close to me.

Stock 2018 107 M8 with 3,600 miles, I don't clean or wipe the inside of the exhaust so, what you see is what it is.
