Put Vance & Hines Dresser Duals on the scoot yesterday and reprogramed the Fuel Pak with the proper settings...Went on a 40 mile cruse to listen to the "new music." All was good EXCEPT when I got home after dark, the rear pipe was glowing like it had been in a blast furnace! V&H tells me it is due to the thin wall pipes and is, get this..Normal. Seems like it will fry the starter if nothing else...

Any of you folks who have the V&H Dresser duals that have been told it is normal to glow red friggen hot had any abnormal issues with the hot @$$ed rear head pipe? Makes me nervous....

 

Doesn't seem like that should be "normal" unless you want to roast marshmellows.

 

not normal from a former V&H cheerleader....you have either too much timing in the rear or too little fuel....chunk the fuelpak and get a SERT

 

When I first got my Road Glide, and before I did any tuning to it, I noticed my rear pipe glowing red hot in the dark of the garage. Naturally, I was concerned and asked my dealer about it. They said the same thing, that it was normal, that the bike came tuned from the factory fairly lean and this was a common occurrence. I haven't really looked at it closely in a while to see if it still does it, as I have since put the SERT and other mods on it.

 

I have VH dresser duals on a 08 Ultra and never noticed that in 15k miles. Ive ridden a fair amount after dark. That doesn't seem right

 

I have a buddy with a bone stock 2007. His rear head pipe glows cherry red after a ride across town. Always has. I've heard of it more than once on 96" bikes.

 

I have V&H true duals with fuel pak on my 08 egc and it does not glow red in the dark!

 

I've owned a Harley for 32 years and never had a glowing pipe before. I'd have it checked if I were you.

Normal? NO. Acceptable to consumers if the dealer can get you to beleive it- Yes.

 

I have the V&H dresser duals and mine does not glow.
