Author Message   Sfinton Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 02:40 pm:        I gotta dent in my header from the previous owner dropping it. I've been looking to replace it for months now but have not came across any used 12 headers. I was thinking about wrapping it just to cover up the tattoo because it really bugs me. Im concerned with the dent effecting the performance. Does anyone know if it would?   Od54 Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 02:52 pm:        I'd imagine it would. That's a pretty darn sizable dent. What the hell did he drop it on? I mean it looks smooth/rounded not creased anywhere.   Redponcho Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 03:01 pm:        I have a dent in mine but it no where near that bad. I wrapped mine with no ill effects.   Djkaplan Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 03:04 pm:        I'm thinking a good metal fabricator could get most of that dent out.   Sfinton Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 03:05 pm:        My primary cover is kinda banged up to. I have a used on for a 9 (black) to put on. I figured while I have the engine rotated I would do it all at once.   Darthane Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 03:10 pm:        Sfinton - this may be a long shot now that the 1125R is out, but you might ask around at dealers that sponsor race teams (or track down privateers). That's how I got hold of a slightly used (like 20mi) XB9 header to replace my dented one, they had removed it in favor of a high-performance header for one of their race bikes.   Mesozoic Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 04:31 pm:        If it were me, I'd be looking at one of the nice HPE header replacement units.   Buellinachinashop Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 04:40 pm:        EBAY! and here in the Classifieds. I got one from a Bad Brother for about $75.00 shipped.   Sfinton Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 04:44 pm:        I've been looking on ebay and in the classifieds. There were a few on ebay but they had dents in the same area as mine. There have been a bunch for 9's but I heard that they will not fit on the 12?   Darthane Posted on Monday, July 07, 2008 - 06:34 pm:        That's correct, they're different sizes. Gotta be off a 12.   Sfinton Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - 07:48 am:        Does anyone think I can have this pressurized and popped out? Or is it to large that it would weaken the header? I don't really care if it looks funny (after being popped out) because I'm going to wrap it anyways. I just want it to function properly. (Message edited by sfinton on July 16, 2008)
