Anyone else experience this?

I just got back from a trip to Arkansas (1700 miles) and the next time I rode the bike, I start smelling a little bit of the exhaust gasses from the riding position. Never noticed this in the past, so I am wondering if I could have a leak somewhere. I've read that when there is a leak though, that you get popping on decel which I do not have at all. I will snug up the bolts on the header pipes tonight. Any other tips on finding where it might be leaking?

like I said on that other forum
look under rear heat shield up by header. Yes cut heatshield straps. Hardware store carries hose clamps.

West Salem, WI United States		Thanks John, I'll take a look under there when I mount my hitch. Maybe I'll just grab a set of Thrush mufflers while I'm at it too. ;-)
