    Seat dye with the right sheen for GS1100E?

    I'm an inadvertant fan of Marhide. In 1974 I bought a 1964 Corvette convert 327/365, 4sp. Blue with black interior. 13 years after buying it I pulled the seats to have new carpet put in. Imagine my surprise to find daytona blue vinyl where it wrapped underneath. Called the original owner and he...

    Anyone know if the split collars go on every pipe or just two? I have an odd amount so either I'm short or have too many.

    high heat black

    The reason I want gloss is because I'm putting my stock exhaust back on. They have sat in storage for decades and have gotten a little surface rust. I'm thinking that because of dual wall head pipes the outer pipe would be cool enough for a good high temp paint. Anyone ever heat gun a set just...

    high heat black

    Thats engine paint, I'm looking for 2000 degree header paint. I really don't know what temp the head pipes run at but I figured the higher the paint temp the better.Since our stock exhaust is double walled maybe the outer pipe will run cooler.
