Ronny Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Anybody know where I can find split header flanges to suit Bandit exhaust? I had to chop mine off, so bad was the steel-ally interaction Don’t want to mess about chopping the pipes about, but don’t want to waste an otherwise fine set of headers either... Have looked on the webz, but can only find stuff for German luxo-barges. Oops, posted this twice cos on first attempt it refused to upload. Sorry, pls delete one of them!

Ade Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It might be a sin but Kawasaki ZXR 750 and GPX 750 use ally split flanges the right size for GSXR 750 Slingshot pipes. https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/ZXR750H-ZX9-Kawasaki-Exhaust-Manifold-Flange-Clamps-x2-18069-1072/164241636699?hash=item263d907d5b:g:~roAAOSwdTRe4zRD https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/Exhaust-Flange-For-Kawasaki-ZRX400-1994-08-ZXR750-1989-95-GPX750R-1987-88-Silver/264628146643?hash=item3d9d1111d3:g:32sAAOSwH8VeP434 https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/304-Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Flange-Kawasaki-ZXR750-set-of-4/233566282560?hash=item3661a2a340:g:Vf8AAOSwIa9enssD First is an old one, second is a new set from China, third is a place that sells NOS Motad parts off. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ronny Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Brilliant! Thank you very much Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Sam Baker made some for me recently. It's not clear how Motad pipes went on so you may need the stock collets to use their flanges, so they may not work with the pipe you want to fit. It's a new one on me that the Kawasaki 750/400 split flanges will fit a Suzuki oil-cooled head though. If you get these then please report back how you got on, with pics of course Quote Link to comment

Ade Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Left is ZXR 750 ally split flange, middle is GSX 600F standard flange off an old pipe and right is GPX 750 ally split flange which are exactly the same as the ZXR 750 ones, same casting numbers and everything. GSX 600 F flange sat on top of ZXR 750 one. The hole size and spacing is the same for the exhaust studs/bolts. The only difference is the hole in the steel GSXF flange is a fraction bigger than the Kawasaki flange. I tried them on my Motad GSXR 750 pipe and they fit the pipes fine. The reason I ended up searching for split flanges was because my Motad has the bent cast flanges from overtightening. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ade Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I got a nice Motad pipe just cos I like the shape of the headers. I gutted it and made it into a single skin slip on link pipe with carbon can. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that mate, much appreciated Quote Link to comment
