Me too, but I have a simple view: if Honda had wanted the 2010-2013 headers to stay shiny, it would have shipped them with double wall headers or a jar of Optiglanz. Mine came with neither so the race is on to see just how discoloured they can get.
Based upon that logic, as your tires slowly lose air, I suppose no effort at maintenance is necessary, since Honda didn't ship the bike with leak proof tires, or an air compressor?

HA. A bit off topic but this reminds of a conversation I had with a side-car enthusiast: He was an older gentleman complaining of all these guys bobbing out or cafe-ing their bikes. He couldn't understand why they just don't leave them alone. My first thoughts were, "unless you have a Ural (which to my knowledge is the only stock sidecar motorcycle out there), aren't you doing the same thing of 'changing' up your bike?". Ok, end rant.
