Yep. And possibly less of an angle, perhaps even straight. The mufflers don't seem to have enough upward angle to warrant that much a bevel.
"but it has something special that the new one does not transmit to me." The RC36 are pretty special. They push all the right buttons. Welcome!
I know those won't ultimately do, but if you spent some time putting a radius on the edges and blended out the grind marks, they would look less...
Forks: OEM is usually the best quality, but is usually more expensive. There will be people that will say nothing but OEM. I have used ALL...
There's a couple of my bikes that can go a couple years between usage, and they can do that a little too. Doesn't continue, friends don't mention...

That looks to be about the same color as this powder job, except mine is smooth and pretty glossy. Frame, swingarm, forks and lower triple....
It bugs me that somebody thought that was acceptable to release to a customer. No quality assurance or accountability. If it was on the inside...
