Pretty sure they were not for flamethrowers, but you never know...
The PO was the PO of Mid America HD and acquired the bike new when he was the owner. Sat on the floor for months, then in his heated garage (along with dozens of other bikes) for years.
Nah, I got the joke. Fanning the flames, so to speak.
They look so professionally done, I thought the header came that way. Perfectly aligned, but like I mentioned, one has some soot around it, so it is leaking. Hate to dork with it in case it snaps off or strips.
But, hey...could be that the PO was actually Johnny Blaze and you could be the next Ghost Rider!

On the other hand, I'd replace the header if it were my bike...especially if there are signs of leaking as you point out.
