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..

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.
