Hello Austin, Long time...
I think what you may be experiencing is delayed ignition due to high octane and a cold cylinder. As those of you with modified engines on here know, high octane fuel (containing fewer radicals) burns smoother and slower (in cold conditions) than lower octane fuel. Often what results from a modified engine is a small delay in burn time of high octane distillates in a cold cylinder meaning that the combustion can still be occuring as the exhaust cycle begins allowing a small burst of combustion to escape through the exhaust valves and "ping" against your headers. This is a very common phenomena in modified engines and can be easily identified by kneeling beside your headers upon starting the bike to see if indeed that is where the sound is resonating from.
