Replacement headers for gsx750Es

[AHD]

Hi All,

I' m looking for 4-2 headers ( or 4-1) for my gsx750es '85. They are  kind of hard to find cheap.  Does headers from any other, Perhaps newer models fit ? I can get a cheap gsxr750 '97, but not sure if headers will fit.  

By the way, from reading other poste inhere, i guess it's possible to replace front end from '97 GSXR750 without much effort?

Thanks alot, been snifffing around for a while now to find inspiration for my newly acquired GSX 750 ES from 1985.

Pop over to General and tell us all about yourself and your bike. You’ll get a far better response. Maybe start a project thread?

Can any one shed any light on this. 

A freind has just bought back his old  gsx750SE Katana pop up , which is thesame engine as the ES.  He's skint but needs new headers for it. Would Bandit or similar headers fit?

I tried a set of bandit headders on my 1980 GSX750 and they wouldn't fit, the problem was the sump but they did fit the exhaust ports.  not sure about the next gen GSX engine though ?

the closest header fitment for that motor would be slab 750 / 1052 …… port spacing and bolt spacing on that motor are different than aircooled ……

have you tried oil cooled headers on one of these engines?

[TonyGee]

the headders i tried where off a 600 bandit, but i wonder if a set off a 1200 would of fit as they are a bit longer than the 6.

physically …. no ….. but it is the same variant as the slab motors . I have a V&H header for a 1052 I could measure up …..

Small world Dunc! 

I just remembered that I had registered here some years back and opened this thread thinking "just what I need!" 

I'll make a proper intro, bike pics, plans, etc once I've made a proper space in the garage for it.

Last time i checked the exhaust ports of an air cooled engine are larger than an oil cooled, also tube bend angles are not really that similar, so are they really interchangeable ?

Air cooled header 47mm OD :

I know i shouldn't hijack a thread to sell shit but I have an aircooled stainless 4-2-1 i can sell for very cheap if that can help you friend out to get his bike back on the road and enjoy it

My gsx750 ef based  project has the stainless steel 4 into 2 headers from one of the oil cooled gsxr models fitted , they fit the ports and clear the sump when installed.

 

Not sure which one they are from , but can post a pic to see if anyone can identify ghem

Excellent!

so im guessing the 2nd gen GSX750 engine is slightly shorter or a flatter sump than the 1st gen GSX750 ?
