Is the day-glo orange on the fairing a decal or paint?  I've been unable to ever find a definitive answer as at which one is correct.  Probably a decal.

Fairing:


Blue:

1968 Norton Fastback
1976 Lemans
1981 CX-100
1993 1000S
1997 Daytona RS
2007 Red Norge

Blackcat, I also have some original headers that are well pitted, but I'd love to fit them if possible.
I have a Keihan system in stainless atm but the cross over pipe is so close to the alternator cover, I can't remove it without taking the exhaust off first!!
What did you do to yours, blast and VHT or ceramic?
Any chance of a close up of your headers to see what they look like at the surface?

I haven't done anything to mine as I figured they were kind of a lost cause which is why I ordered new ones from Teo Lamers.

Ah, right, thx. I'd have been tempted to blast them and see how they came out.
Are the TL headers the ones with the joint in the crossover?

I may take them to the powder coater and see what he thinks, but if they don't come out smooth, they just won't look right against the new mufflers.

Yes, the ones I ordered are the two piece headers:

I would have rather had the one piece but I just couldn't find them.
