I’ve heard that Buell changed header manufactures in 2006 and was wondering if there was a difference in the quality?
And if so, would it matter if they were ceramic coated?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure of the year..

From what heard magnets stick to the later ones and that does indicate a lower grade stainless..

Your right Tedd. Tried it by self. My 04 has absolutely no sticky from a magnet. Tried magnets on the later bikes 2006 and up and the magnet gets some action going. Lower grade of SS I suspect. Iron in it which attract magnets.
