In my opinion it was shabby of Honda to ship the 2010-2016 Standard CB1100s without double-walled stainless steel exhaust headers. Those fitted to the DLX/EX/RS models are much sharper.

However, being essentially lazy, I've accepted this curious design decision and am allowing my headers to discolour in whatever way they want.

For those unable to live with that choice, a product called Optiglanz has received rave reviews on this forum for its simplicity and efficacy.
