I'm in a shitty mood so I'll bite on this as well.

CLEARLY he isn't or doesn't know how to read log data.

Again .....new to vrods and T/M

If you have turbo it's normal but the front pipe should glow too.
When I ride my turbo hard, you could read a newspaper at night next to it.

No shit ?

I think a lot of people would be happier if they didn't ride at night and look at the head pipes. They have no choice but glow, some more then others depending on exhaust type.

Have to respectfully disagree on a lot of that.

High EGTs typically = lean. I use EGT probes on some of my projects on a per cylinder basis as a way to find lean cylinders/injector issues/fuel rail design issues/issues during a 1/4 mile run etc.

Does red header = boom? Not necessarily, however I certainly would be logging O2 sensor data (WBO sensor if possible) when tuning/concerned about glowing headers (as the OP is). Too much data and technology on hand now a days to assume.

FYI, turbo blankets (or proper ceramic coating) are typically used to keep underhood temps manageable.

Hello - If you or any readers have these EGT probes in their V-Rods can you report the temps in each cylinder while cruising at 60-70 mph?

No shit ?

1100 °C is very bright I would say
