In my case, the bend pipe is perfect like new, its the upswept exhaust that has turned golden...........................any news on the Odometer verification.
Singhg5, the G5 is probably ok because its got a 19" front. The problem here in India seems to be that RE is probably using the same Speedometer /Odometer for the Classic 350 and 500, and because the 500 has a 18" front wheel, it does more revolution for the same ditance than a 19" resulting in over clocking distance than actual.
