Should my headstock look like this?

Before I send my fame off for spraying/powder coating can anyone tell me whether this is how my headstock should look? Also can anyone post a pic of an untouched one for reference?
I think it's fairly clear that this one has been repaired, which is fine, but I'd like to get it back to as close to standard as possible..
Cheers
Dave

Thanks Luders! =D>
So in summary it doesn't look too bad to me then.. Someone's obviously had a grinder to the top fairing bracket mount but if i smooth it off a bit with a die grinder/sand paper/file it should look OK once sprayed. While I'm at it I may tidy up the weld on the lower bracket too.
Sadly I don't have a faring bracket to bolt on and test for straightness - which reminds me - i must do a list for the wanted section.. Be warned though I think it's going to be long one!

Yeah, it all needs cleaning up a bit. I can't help you with the front sub-frame, I only have 2 and one is goosed. The good one is for the road bike pictured.
