I have been rapping with Hippo on another thread on the tech forum. It appears that my bike has been running lean for a bit and now the headers are that light antique golden color. If and when the mix is corrected, do the pipes continue to change colors 'till they become blue/black or can the color remain the same if not be brought back to original luster? It was always odd to me that they put on heat shields; thought it was there to protect your legs. Is it just a function of time? Do all pipes just go black eventually? Has anyone ever seen pipes that stayed shiny chrome long after driven new from dealer ( w/o treatment)?
Sorry about asking a ton of questions- I really appreatiate any info given.
