          I actually rattle canned all my paint. It's not very oil and gas resistant so I have to be careful but for this 32 year old bike I figured I wouldn't go all out the first time.

            Thanks for posting pics! I have a "T" with an "L" seat...and your's is 16V with dual-disks. Did you paint your pipe(s) or change to 4-1? I can't see the left side too well.

            my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

              I found a stock set out of nevada and painted it. wrapped the headers in case the paint decided to peel there. I like the looks of it too.

                My signature gives you an idea what I have done to mine. And yes, I did the change out to a series R/R Compufire long time ago.

                  IMO, one important mod is the addition of a headlight relay setup -- the functional equivalent of this one . These do amazing things with your headlight brightness and, therefore, safety. I opted for the unit I linked to, and it was really money well spent.
                  and God said, "Let there be air compressors!"

                    We dont run headlights through the day here(unless you want to), but i can see why that would make a difference + blinkers e.t.c
                    Oh geez.landshark. Please turn your headlight on if you don't already. It's a lifesaver. I notice a definite difference as to folks pulling out of side-streets in front of me , if I forget to turn it on.

                            The best upgrades I did to my bike are:
                            -modern tires
                            -progressive front springs
                            -stainless steel brake lines, pads could also be upgraded for better performance
