Fitted the new headers yesterday. Finally decided to stay with balanced type using my twisted logic in wanting to keep the bike as it was originally, despite having the new steel tank and side panels painted a non standard color!

Anyroadup, got everything lined up okay and initially tightened, went for shakedown ride and all seemed good, so really leant on the rose clamp wrench and knocked over the securing ring tabs. I know, they’re said to be not much cop but it’s done now.

Have to admit to not knowing the manufacturer as they came from a trusted dealer friend of a friend after I was getting so frustrated at looking at so many suppliers and suggestions and wildly different pricing that I gave up and went to him for a great deal.


Only thing I notice after the short run was that the r hand pipe only has started to discolor next to the rose clamp. Both sides will obviously turn eventually but is this a sign that r hand cylinder is running hotter?
