Something I have found that works for me to maintain the appearance of the stainless header after cleaning with Simichrome is to wipe the header down with WD40 with a shop cloth after each ride once the pipes have cooled down. The pipes do take on a slight amber hue but no more leopard spots and heavy oxidation. The WD 40 does give off a slight bit of smoke upon start up but that quickly goes away. Best thing I have found to keep the header looking nice.
