    That's coming out so nice. Your painter did an excellent job on the body parts. I, too, used the VHT flat black header paint for my exhaust. I noticed, accidentally, that if you let them dry for a few days, then rub them down with a blue paper shop rag, they get a real nice shine to them almost a ceramic-looking finish.

      Thanks I’m really happy with the paint. Good to know about the rub down effect! I’ll post some pics of my results on the exhaust. Cheers

              Trevor, I have a pristine, original, complete, exhaust system for a 82 GS-1100e. I would consider selling it to you. It won't be cheap and the shipping might be expensive. If you think you might be interested in it let me know...

                  Good work with the spray bomb on headers! Did you use their primer too? (I had trouble with the clear coat lifting the paint so I'll be leery of that again... so what trick did you use?)

                    No trick. I did two coats of the flat black then let it sit for an hour then went at it with the clear coat. Worked good for me.

                      Polished up Wolf exhaust can today. Here are some before and after pics
                      Monday I start putting the bike back together.
                      I will put the Wolf emblem on once the pipe has been fitted back on the bike

                            Oh, God. I love headers, black headers, and I love the word 'racing.'

                            When I bought a new Dunlop for the rear of my Kaw 900, the salesman asked, "Street or race compound?"

                            If you told me it was from a race dog, I'd scoop up a pile of shyte and display it in my kitchen.

                            Trevor, your work and your taste are impeccable.

                              Looks awesome! I’ll be happy if mine is even half as nice as this.

                              where did you get the side cover pin stripes? I’m sure I could make it myself but I’m lazy and wondering if there was a pre made one available
