header worth saving? was created by ThatGPzGuy
It's still solid but the headpipe has a nasty dent on one of the downpipes? Worth saving? I think it is a Kerker but there are no identifying marks.

There is a place in Atlanta. I'll be a while before I get it done since the 77 project is on hold.
I'll find the name and address and let you know.

How would you go about getting the dent out?

Hey Spdygon, I have vintage bikes and cars which means I wrench way more than I ride LOL. Just can't seem to find the time to get out besides commuting or the monthly Bike Night.
