Question Strange Smell...

2nd day riding with my new V&H Shortshots, Big Sucker AC and PC III. On my way into work today I kept smelling a faint odor somewhat resembling when a big rig slams on it's brakes and the smell of brakes burning.

Not sure what it is yet but is there anything I should be looking for, get checked out, or is it the new exhaust pipes breaking in.

Thanks,

Donna

Probably the pipes, especially if the baffles are wrapped. Give it a couple more good heat cycles....should go away.

No, I did not run over any funny critters I am just hoping baggersport is right and they are just breaking in.

If it continues I may have them change the mapping on the PC III.

Thanks
