The pipes are Hooker Troublemakers, I'm looking for another set they started leaking between the head pipe and muffler they have a reducer there thats not welded all the way around so after 1600 miles and a year later it started leaking, so when I let up it pops pretty bad.

love the whole bike, Cory, but judging by the last pic, your front pipe is blued way too far back, might check that your carb is not running too lean, at least that would be my guess as to why it is that hot, but I may be wrong

BTW: I love this bike!
I hear you bro, that is an awesome bike. I seriously considered it when I bought my new 1200C.

Yep, was indeed the issue. I've stripped those pipes anyway, went with a set of custom welded 2" downs a friend of mine makes em up, i'll have to get some pics posted when they are on. I just want to ride!

Here's my '09 Sportster 1200 Low. My husband just installed my forward controls today. At first, I was reluctant to get them because I thought the position would be uncomfortable, but I can't believe how comfy the position is. I also have an engine guard and slip ons to install. Here are some photos taken today. You may have to click on them for a larger view.
