From what little I can see of them they appear to be the stock units.

Here are a couple of clearer pics of those non-stock mufflers. Also, I got to talk to the PO about the bike. It has had a pair of Norris cams installed to work better with the mufflers, and the whole package is supposed to add another 22hp. It does feel pretty strong, but can't really tell much yet after my first 10 mile ride since the clutch slips on this bike, too, if the throttle is rolled on hard. These mufflers are not very loud, but they sure sound different and really let you hear those six cylinders. They definitely give less back pressure as you can hear ocassional gentle little "pops" inside the muffler tips when you back off the throttle at any speed.

I looked inside the gas tank with a flashlight and there's not a speck of rust anywhere! I swear this is a brand new bike! The only fault I could find is the lock on the trunk doesn't turn with the ignition key, and I hate multiple keys, so I will need to get that re-keyed.

Sweet, sweet bike!

This new bike even came with the owners manuals, tool kit and soft-sided luggage to fit the saddlebags and trunk! How often have yo seen TWO of these monsters sitting together?

Fantastic! Really impressive - I'm so envious! And what a bonus to get the manuals AND tool kit.
Looking forward to hearing about the performance when you get the clutch fixed.
