After re-reading your original post [I tend to speed read most &\\; often miss a few things] I see you have a stock bike. Unless you changed something I would agree with Doc. Does this happen only when the bike is idling or when you're cruising or both? I've seen a few when they sit there idling the pipes would start to glow. Everybody with a new bike can vouch for that.
ive seen my 2005 road king and a buddies 2007 night train glow with no mods done at all. \\; only see it at night after putting around in town tho.
I would check around the intake manifold to see if you had a vacuum leak. Try a little spray of carb cleaner around the ports at idle. It will raise the idle if it has a leak. A leak may cause a lean condition and make the pipes glow. Good Luck!
the pipes will glow at 55 mph as well as idle.it will hesatate taking off at a stop light then pickup speed after throtling back and fourth a few times
