...just got back from HK/China and it's great to be back! I didn't see a bike above a 125cc while I was there. There's something definitely wrong with that.

Kra_Zee750,
That's a good point and I already found polished pieces at a decent price. I think I'll try the replacement pieces and play with my covers when I have time.

...hahahahaha, pretty extreme, don't you think? No need to send to China, either. I had a six hour layover in Japan.

...you need to explain, though. What's so great about a header from Japan? Are they better from Japan, or is it price?

...better in what way? Looks, price, performance? What makes one header better than another, if other than performance?

...LOOKS! That's it, looks?

...well, that's damn silly. How much better can they look?

...what's the difference in price between normal pipes and a looker pipe?

...if it's $50, I might see it. No more than a $100. But, how much better can they look?
