I recently purchased an 08 Uly and presently have about 420 miles on it. Last night I noticed that the exhaust tubes had a very slight reddish glow after about an easy twenty mile ride. (at the top next to the cylinders) Should I be concerned or is this normal? Thanks... JB

Ride and enjoy. While breaking the bike in you may notice some things that seem odd, and if your worried just ask.

My firebolt headers would glow at first, the fan ran all the time too. after 25k the fan almost never came on and the headers would only glow on track days.

The glow is normal, now get your ass back on the bike and enjoy it : )

BTW, post in the big bad & dirty section for your Uly questions from now on : )

They glow. Particularly when the bike idles.
