Its stock. Still with baffle AND catalyst.
I have to rejet anyway. My jets are 130/47.5.
They are pretty small and Verslagen think they are maybe EU measure different from US measure, but he dont know the conversion rates.
Im confused Cheesy

The down pipe is yellow with a bit of blue right at the exhaust port, indicating the jets arent way off.
But that will have to wait untill I get it all back together.

Versaglen ,Is correct in that the carbs and jet sizes on your side of the pond don't begin to look anything like ours ,which makes it hard to advise . However ,the color of your header pipe is what I would call normal (slightly lean factory setting) a slight golden color. but the fact that you aren't very high above sea level ,( I didn't see mountains when I was there),and the Dyna muffler having less back pressure you'll be running much leaner .The part of your pipe that is golden now will darken to blue if you don't go to larger jets ,and/ or the white spacer mod, and will be an indication that your motor is running hotter, which could cause damage over time ( burnt valves, etc.)

This difference in measure makes it very hard to order new jets. Hopefully the dealer knows what kind he sells.

@Tocsik.
Im sure batman is refering to my description of the downpipe installed on my my bike Wink
