Yea maybe they had no fans when they ran it,
Still would look cool at night for a light show.

My 12R and 12X have both had the header glowing after a good ride at night.

A glowing pipe like that cant be good.... Has anyone had this issue after installing a aftermarket pipe?

It's got hot exhaust running through it and the pipes aren't very thick.

It's OK.

They had a BIG fan on it.

Wow! That's pretty amazing. I've seen headers glow in the dark, but glowing that brightly in a light room means they are HOT!

That is very common to see that on any bike when it is at high load and no wind. My BM did it My Yamaha RD350 did it My Kawasaki 500 did it every bike I had that was ever on a dyno or was reved up standing still for any reason all did it.

Not a problem. Not buell specific either

This is why you shouldn't run your bikes on 'ready brek'.

Wouldn't be a high performance engine if the headers didn't glow red hot at full power and engine spinning to the rev limit. Nothing at all out of the ordinary there.
