Sidewinder systems

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.

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.

This is normally referred to as my "Blue Bike" or Suzi_1 its a bit triggers broom having appeared in many guises 

Current guise with N/A 1216 Oil Boiler Motor  Zorst in Pics is a Vance & Hines Sidewinder from a GSX 1100...Its tight to the frame but a miss is a miss

all that's need to fit to the motor is small reduction of the pipe flange into the head....

Cheers fella 

interesting to know, it seems unless I can get a good second hand one however they cannot be bought anywhere new now.

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 :/

If you find a chromers that'll replace a used exhaust please let's know as most aren't interested in case anything is left internally that might pollute their tanks
