I've painted a few mufflers and exhausts with heat resistant paint that I've found at automotive supplies. Even Walmart has the stuff. I was just wondering if anyone had found something a little closer to the original. I looked at a1984 NH S (700) for sale today. In really good shape except for the turn signal holders (of course) and a slight dent in the tank at the knee position. I would have bought it for $1000 except it has 55,000 miles on it. It still sounded good but I've never heard of a bike with much life after 40,000 at least an air cooled. Is there anybody out there who would talk me into buying it with that mileage?
