the condition of that screw on the header clamp is so nice, it just says 'bike thats barely been messed with' to me. does your chromer clean the inside of the pipes nick or do you do it?

Good question Paul because I know this can be a problem for a lot of chromers to the extent that some will not touch header pipes. So I will clean up and dismantle these as best I can. Essentially he will be getting five parts from me. 2 x headers, 2 x crossover clamps and 1 x crossover tube. When he re-chromed used headers for my CB400T Hawk a year or two back, he did not even mention the issue of cleaning them so he just handles it all, which is great.

Complete ball ache......hack saws are great friends sometimes. All parts now separated and ready for re-chroming.

I would take the lazy option of a Dremel with cutting disk

Next job will be to replace this L/H air box inner panel. It got stressed and cracked as I was tightening it up after the repaint some months ago (totally my fault and I have learned from why it happened). Shown here is the painted replacement.
