Default Blueing of front pipe

Is it normal on a road king to have blueing on the front pipe as far down as the gap in the chrome heat shield.

Mine started doing the same thing until I went with the PCIII and changed the fuel settings. I used some chrome cleaner that is supposed to get rid of the blue - got some of it out but not all so I went and bought the piece that harley forgot heat shield from J&P cycles and looks fine.
