I'm wondering where you ordered your set of headers and mufflers?
I am in need of changing the headers on my '66.

I got those $150/pair TEK remote reservoir shocks installed. They are sized for a CB350, so they ride 1/2" higher than stock when uncompressed, but settle into a more normal-looking height when loaded. They're also stiffer than stock and provide so much more dampening than the spring-only set that c...

Looks great. what did you use for paint? Thank you! It's coming along. I used Rustoleum self-etching primer then an "automotive" gloss black from Advanced Auto Parts (or Duplicolor Ultra Silver Mica depending on the part), then Eastwood's 2K gloss clearcoat on the tank, well cover, headlamp and cha...

Side covers and guards are cloud silver as far as I know not grey. Is this what you meant? Whoops, yep, thanks, though I'm not using Imron on this rehab, opting instead for Duplicolor Ultra Silver Mica rattle can.

I'm making winter progress. I decided to go with the black/grey/silver color combination that most of the bike's parts started with. It's funny because in preparing each part, I've discovered black, red, green, white and primer colors - indicating and long and, um, colorful life. The tank was bondo'...
