I don't know about orange, but My new zl and I just went on a 55 mile HIGH SPEED river ride and i got BRAKE dust  (Black) all over everything

!!!  damn river is finally ridable,,

 

[zr580s rule]

thats not brake dust you are seeing it is the insulation from you pipe.  

check the rivots holding your pipe together when they are loose or missing it will let particles of insulation loose when riding and cause everything under you hood to have have a rust orange color to it

yup, definately from your exhaust, just as zr 580's said, put new rivets in, they tend to rust out.  After you do you might notice your sled to be a hair quieter because that outter exhaust shield won't be rattling anymore.
