The engine is still pretty clean and won't take much to clean it up. The headers are pretty blued up... Somebody has been running it hot. Might check the plugs for a lean condition.

As these are obviously not the double walled stock headers but possibly cheap, single walled aftermarket headers, I won't worry too much about the color in this case. :wink:

No Problem, thank you! Now I have space to work on that grease laden XS650 you saw in the garage....
