I am planning to do something similar to Skip & Jane, I saw some car
headers that had been treated with the 'Jet Hot' process and I'd like to
get that for the bike. Not sure how well they clean up after
grease/oil.

nice satin silver finish on them.

One thing no one has mentioned is engine noise. I've got SS headers on
my
V7. It's very noisy compared to a buddy's V7 that has chromed headers.
The
SS headers are quite a bit thinner than the chromed steel headers. Also
stainless doesn't damper noise like steel.

I was planning on throwing a set of steel headers on this spring to see
if
they make a difference. And yes my valves are set to factory spec.'s.

 I'm thinking about replacing the head pipes on my Eldo.

Should I go for stainless or chrome? I'm thinking chrome, as that would
original. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
