    Wanted - Left Side Header Pipe

    Exhaust pipes in the way - how can I bend the kickstart

    Guys, The silencers slide on to the heads pipes and are really loose fit, After installation the joint between the two seems to be to loose, The kit did not include any special clamps. Should I put some kind of adhesive on the head pipe before I install the muffler. The muffler will not fall...

    Are XS headers interchangeable

    Hi, My XS2 header pipes, or down pipes, are pretty rotten. There are quite a few on ebay but are they all compatible. Will later model XS headers fit into an XS2 head. The silencer end is no problem but I don't want to pay for pipes that won't fit when they arrive. Any information will be...
