Just finished my first set of S1 headers to go along with my X1's xb's and 1125 stuff  | ||
| Foximus |
get the bugs and kinks out and I'll buy one. | ||
| Albert666 |
? | ||

Yeah, not sure what he is getting at either Albert...Looks good. Is that front tube a tad shorter between the top two bends compared to the Buell one? Ever make an alternative for the race header shoe? | ||

That looks nice have you tried a trial fit? Hows it bolt up? You ever think of making it a 3 pc with springs? (Message edited by S1owner on September 30, 2012) | ||

Very nice. I would LOVE to see an S2 header with a 2.5" race collector...just sayin'  | ||

Top job Alan  | ||
| Foximus |
Well... mostly I meant getting the bends more concentric... | ||
| Albert666 |
i still don't understand? i was asked to make a replica of the race system, which i did, i can't get it bent in one so it has some welds i could make one to my own spec as well | ||
| Jayvee |
Are both these headers made by you? Or is one factory, and the other one you made? Really nice, I love the color too. | ||
| Albert666 |
the tarnished one on the left is factory, the other i made | ||
| Coxster |
Great work Albert! | ||
| 01x1buell |
it looks great | ||

Is it possible to make an S1 header like the X1? I do notice the amount of heat difference on the right leg. With the X1 style routing, the leg is usually medium rare but well done with the S1 style routing. | ||
| Ratbuell |
The X1 frame has a higher tube, allowing the header to go under it. It would be one hell of a kink to get that to work on an S1. Albert, I think the post by Foximus referred to what appears to be a difference in bends/path for the front primary pipe, and it's "C" shaped bend. the factory one (left?) has a "level" C, where yours appears to be angled downwards with a shorter top segment. If they weren't side by side I doubt anyone would tell. As long as they both clear the air filter - did you fit with a stock breadbox and a hamcan? Or just one or the other? Welds just make it look more like an OEM S2 header | ||

looks to me like the angle of the picture is what's causing the confusion..... | ||
| Jim_d |
You want to sell me that factory s1 race header? | ||
| Albert666 |
jim, unfortunately it's not mine, and it had a crack, hence the request to build a replacement | ||
| Foximus |
Ah... maybe it is just the angle of the photo. But yes the top C seems to be a tight bend and the top, and then sloping to a increasing radius around the exit. | ||
| Albert666 |
foximus, i see where your'e coming from now, the 170 deg bend is a concentric radius, it looks odd in the photo | ||
| Foximus |
Vie Viel? (how much?) | ||

I wish you lived in the US. My KT pipe just cracked nearly in half and I'm looking for some one to make me a copy of it. | ||
| Albert666 |
i have shipped many parts to the usa | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Looks nice. I like the welds, they give the pipe a mechanical look, which I just love. Nice work! |
