That looks awesome. It's begging for more chrome, though, and possibly a Headwinds-style headlight like Tsalagi's.
What did you coat the exhaust header pipes with?

There will be more chrome parts, for example sprocket cover.
But now my wallet is empty. What did you mean that coat? Paint or what? Sorry my worst english.

I was wondering if you used high-temperature paint, powder-coat or ceramic coating (like the Jet-Hot brand). If it's the first or second one I'd be interested in hearing how the coating holds up. I'm pretty sure a ceramic-type coating would have no problems.

Friarjohn a friend of mine that ran panheads used to paint his exhaust with black bar-b-q paint Bar-B-Q Black it was called. Was flat black and made to hold up to way more heat than you ever get with exhaust. It was tough too lasted a long time. Barrel paint is another one I have used for years made to paint cylanders on bikes but I was painting cylanders. I never painted exhaust on my bikes...yet anyway. Who knows the future.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

That's good to know. I know others have had decent results with VHT high temp paint. I may also hit up my buddy at Dupont and see if he can raid the Dupont Industrial Coatings (worst acronym ever  - can you imagine being the 'head' of that division?  ) catalog for something cool.
