Prime Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 Gents (and any ladies) so I have a oil burner in an efe frame currently has a Vance and Hines sidewinder on. I’d like to keep to that style and seeing as Vance and Hines systems are no longer available new. before I go making my own stainless set, has anyone respaced a Murray, brocks etc, system from a gsxr1000 or busa etc etc to suit? Ideally want a stainless set up due to using the bike daily and obviously destroys chrome. I’ve seen people use headers off gsxrs and as such before but they hang low iirc etc and they’re not the style I’m wanting. Ta 6 Quote
bluedog59 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 TBH, with a bike that tidy you're better off biting the bullet and getting a pipe made exactly how you want. A reworked pipe off something else will struggle to look right and it will end up bugging you. 3 Quote

I’ve looked into having mine dipped and rechromed which might be the way to go in a minute before it’s past that fingers crossed it’s not to late already Edited January 21, 2023 by Prime Quote
