I'm not running a heat shield over the muffler/head connection right now. Didn't think about it when I bought the muffler. I'm gonna find one and put it on there, but right now it's a bare connection. The black flakes are all over the ground too right under that spot. It's nowhere else on the bike so I know it's concerntrated in that general area.
Now that I think about it, I noticed similar flakes on the head pipe up front when I forgot to tighten it (see post in the Moron Hall of Fame). After tightening it down, the flakes disappeared. By-products of the chemical reactions taking place in the engine?
