Spaghetti headers. I guess you need them, the other President already has a set on her Monster.

Ooh very bling & should save some weight?

You may even be able to squeeze in a few medium size pork pies & jumbo sausage rolls without any noticable loss in performance?

I look forward to a road test report (sponsored by Greggs) ASAP

I may well be able to if the bloody things fitted! Not sure what's happened, perhaps a mix up of parts, but the front header pipe is about 25-30mm to short and won't join properly with the mid section. Just waiting to hear why!

On the plus side it's very light compared to the stock system and 5mm bigger in bore and is supposed to provide up to 8bhp with the right set up. For no other reason that I want to, I'm aiming at 100hp at the rear wheel.

Aha - thought they were somewhat wider! I have spaghetti headers and I love them - they have also changed the sound somewhat....Enjoy - and hope they get fitted soon!!!!!

could it be that the bike has bowed slightly from the stock bike the original pipes would have stretched but new ones would expect the standard fit........

Might be ignoring your call too!




Actually it looks like the front header I have is for a 900 as they're slightly shorter
