R-RatedCustoms is on a distinguished road
If Spoker is on to something then explain the quick blueing of the TC 96 pipes vs the TC 88? Both run same Octane and both are not super high compression monster motors. Both have nearly the same heads, so where does the 96 get the extra energy for the heat difference?

Back a few years ago when US EPA started enforcing the 1979 statutes via CARB, there was a sudden taking notice at the dealer shows. Then we all were informed that the big boys (HD, Honda, ETC) were going to lean out the bikes so they would pass.

But a factory lean engine burns much hotter than a V-Twin made of these materials needs to burn and survive more than a few years. So as far as the aftermarket taking everyone for a ride, then I guess someone claiming such needs to show the thermal imaging of the motor at stock form vs modified "to run cooler" showing us that there is no hope from the inferno.
