Bad news, great news on headers
This Saturday night, I put a hole in one of my headers going over a curb. I have a buddy who gave me a set of pristine F2 headers to replace the ones I holed, and after taking mine off, I noticed they were both way different. Long story short, my weigh maybe 4lbs less than the stock ones, and have 5mm (~3/16") bigger collectors tubes than stock. Upon seeing that I welded on a patch and slapped them back on the bike, instead of going back to stock and having a rich running motor.
The best thing is that my bike's already been jetted for these bad boys and runs great with nary a badly lean or rich spot all along the rev range. Not bad for a free bike! It's good to know someone paid a lot of attention to my bike back when it was hot stuff.

Ok, here they are after I got the bike and painted them with some VHT ceramic header paint.
Here they are mid repair:
And here's a pic of the plate that i bent up and my brother welded on. Of course, he had to put his initials on it.
I've got to paint them again (and better!) but that will happen when I get another running bike.

Nice pipes Sand.Man. My pipes are still 36% larger in area.
