I went with the hindle headers i had. we made a custom mid pipe and used the gixxer 1k scorpion pipe that i painted black. it sounds pretty damn good compared to the devil i had. the only reason i thin 107 is to much is because it tends to take some throttle to start more like a track bike. which is fine with me but everyone else thinks its bad haha. they are used to their stock bikes kicking on first touch of the button. with the new dyno we only got 2 more hp but then again it was 35 degrees hotter outside haha.
i get alittle bit of hesitation between 5-6k rpms. which is actually why the exhaust valve is there. to help creat alittle back pressure. so im hoping to find some crimped headers sooner or later to help. the serpent exhaust from micron or a full akra. is what i reallly want. i would do a custom pipe like mv agusa if i get serpent headers though.

What where your lobe centers at intake and exhaust? And do you have a dyno graph of the last dyno run? I'm very interested on what rpms she has max. hp. The difference of full Hindlle compared the stock exhaust is about 8 rwhp when tuned on a bike whit stock motor. I think the gains should be even little bigger whit tuned engine.

I dint I really need ti go get a co0y 9f the dyno sheet. u wasn't very impressed because we only got 2 hp more butt considering it was 30 degrees hotter outside compared to the last one that's not bad. Well be doing one in the fall to get a better comparison . And yes it is the one on ebay. It took alot of work but we got rid of that ****ty kid pipe and cleaned them up alot

At the thicker head gasket: I wouldn't really worry about anything bending or warping. Probably the frames have more difference when they come from factory then the headgasket will change the height of the mounting. And if it looks that the collars or bolt won't fit right you could allways grind little of the top off the collar the get the bolts little higher and allso there is a lot of clearence between the collars, frame, engine mounts and bolts allready whitout grinding.

Nice man! Do you have a picture of it on the bike? I thought it would look great! But, for me, on the fighter - I'm doing a belly exhaust so I didn't think I could make it work.

Just pick a solder of the appropriate diameter.

Yes, he did. And the oems are bolts. Not studs. On the 954 they are stretching bolts that should be changed every time they are opened. I'm not sure are the 929 re-usable. I used oem whit my 980 kit and never heard that anyone has found any aftermarket ones for 929/954.
