madalaskan is on a distinguished road
Muffler blued

I have a 07 Ultra Classic which had stock pipe and V&H slip ons. Also I have a V&H Fuel Pack in it. Last fall on my road trip my right side muffler blued bad. I was told by a shop tech that it was caused by the stock pipes dumping almost everything into the right side and over heating that muffler. This winter I installed V&H's dresser duals in hopes of taking care of the problem. My problem is I am now told that my main problem originally was that the bike was probably running too lean. Can anyone tell me with the bike setup the way it is and the mapping set according to the V&H for the Fuel Pack will this take care of my blueing problem. I haven't frun it much because the snow isn't gone. So I guess I will have to get some road miles on it to see if the mapping is right. Any thoughts on this.
