I noticed I had quite a bit of black dust after my ride yesterday. Weird. I had just wiped it down the day before too. It almost looked like soot and I have no idea how that could be.

When I ride mine hard, I get the black dust on the saddlebags, and back fender...... It is soot from the exhaust.

I got exhaust soot on my Nomad like VulcanE, too. The only brake dust I remember was right around and on the wheels.
