Less than 300 miles and headers turning gold. Anyone else experiencing this? I am familiar with the to rich/to lean coloring but was thinking with EFI maybe this wouldn't happen. Maybe it's just due to the heat?

My headers are so full of dead flies and gooey remains, it is hard to see ANY color :surprise:
I think that they may have changed slightly, but i will compare them with a showroom bike on Friday when i go for the first service.

270 miles on mine. Just popped outside to look see if they've changed colour, and realised that I had black ones fitted!!!
But I can report that they are still black! :grin2:

LOL definitely a face palm moment that I can guarantee, I would do on multiple occasions ahahah :grin2:

Post picks. Would like to see what it looks like with the black exhaust. I had considered doing that. i actually ordered the black engine cases, but when I saw the bike I opted to not have them installed. I may at the break in service...not sure...

150 miles so far on the bike. Pipes are turning gold.

 

[muensterDeath]

Bummer. Guess its just a part of it....would have liked it to stay silver!! Pretty clear difference in the image...

 

[Runerock]

Well, if you have the Green & Silver one like I do at least the gold pipes match the pinstriping on the tank ... small win. :smile2:

 

[Forjox]

By the look of the pipes, I figured they were double walled like my BMW and wouldn't do that. Oh, well, it adds the vintage look they were trying for!

Now that you have all got me focused on headers changing color :nerd::grin2: I have noticed that the V&H slip ons are also changing color!!!

And here are my headers :

 

[muensterDeath]

There is a little gold there.....odd on the slip ons.....

Good before and after here on a TEC exhaust on a Bonneville. Will be buying some of the product....

I will be asking the dealer as to WHY the slip ons are changing color. Not that i really mind - i just want to make sure it is not a flaw.

 

[Lure]

Is there any way to prevent it or take it out with some metal polish?

Honestly don´t know. I will ask the dealer tomorrow.
What i can see is that the RHS slip on has changed color much more than the LHS.

bottom up, and other views of how Bobber exhaust splits and is inside chrome shield.

 

[Forjox]

Maybe try this!

I just tried a 25yr old bottle of Simichrome Blueaway on the inside bottom half in picture. I wanted to try in an inconspicuous area as it's OLD! Worked pretty good. I'll have to work on the rest later.

Eisen could you kindly give your location as I am wondering where Vance & Hines slipons are availabe. I couldn't make out your location in your signature? :frown2:

And here are my headers :
