I got my new baldwin pipe on and went riding today, i have a stock 05, baldwin system, airbox lid off (stock filter for now till my sparks gets here) and he sent me a 185 main jet and a new needle on the 3rd clip. I took it out for the first time today it ran fine. when i took the stock handlebars ect off, i wasnt sure what to do with the little hose that ran from the coolant overflow bottle up towards the bars so i ran it down hanging behind the fan, after riding for a little bit i noticed coolant all over the place coming from the hose, was i overheatin or should the hose be pointed up like it used to be???

Also, i noticed my header had a blueish color to it, not sure if this is normal or rich/lean?? Heres a pic its kinda hard to tell. ( you can also see in the pic were the dirt is stuck to where the coolant was going everywhere)

THANKS

You said you took the stock bars off. Did you unplung the key switch? If so your fan isn't coming on.
