Wow Ducnut they look extremely sexy, love the satin sheets, your're making want to snuggle up to them!! Seriously, they are a great looking bit of kit. I'm sure they will be great on the bike.

Cheers.

Thanks Jay! It’s been awesome to learn so much about the machines our community loves and get a much-wanted component out to the guys. Wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t been gracious enough to let me ride your wonderfully harmonized 5 gen with its headers and a fantastic tune by Mike Velasco.

New member here that has read lots and is excited by the idea of getting a set of these headers for my 2007 6th gen. I'd like to keep my centerstand and upgrade from a stock ECU to a Power Commander, probably just downloading a map. I'm running gutted stock pipes and have done the pair/flapper mods. I'd love to here from whomever is taking orders, woo-hoo Trump bucks

 

Anyone else need a centerstand stop? I've got 3 total interested so far, unless I missed someone. I can do them for $50 each shipped in the lower 48, or $42 plus actual cost to points globally.

 

I'll try to make a couple extra anyway, but times are tight so I can't sit on a bunch of inventory.

Yes - if it will (or can be made to) work for a 5th gen.

I got mine a week ago.   I can't wait to fire her up.   Just plugged in the PC3.   So, late posting that I received it.  Awesome quality!  Very happy!  More to come!  Thanks to the whole team!   Installed yesterday minus muffler and 2 forward bungs.  Need crush washers and waiting on 8 spoke goldie rear rim.   Right side rear pipe was very close to swingarm!   Had to space it away and re-tighten it.   Rear nuts were easy to access with long 1/4" drive.  It's skinnier than a 3/8" drive.

Geez...look at you go. I received mine last September, and still haven't even opened the box! To be fair, though, we'd just moved into our new home, and aside from general unpacking, I've been making my shed "project ready", before i start working on the VFR...won't be long now!

Weeeelll, I've been going over the procedures and how toos - probably like the rest of us though - for a little bit now😉 so I thought I'd get into it.

A couple of the harder install points were getting the o2 sensors out (tight) and clocking the flanges and getting the nuts started on the rears.

 

Good luck with yours👍

Looks great - love the grey with gold wheels, boOZZIE!

 

I've fired one up without mufflers...sounds like an NHRA dragster...

Headers installed, bungs capped, sleeve installed into TBR muffler inlet, PC3 connected!   Waiting on 8 spoke rear so I can install the can.  Like the Battle Factory rearsets??

Is there any need to re-install the heat shield (moded) on rear set?    No hot foot or brake line?

 

o2 bung - there's a EFI shop near me and they stock em, maybe see if uv got a local shop

Same.  Amazon.  M18x1.5.   Hex key drive looks cleaner than hex nut.

Are these bung plugs short enough where they don't extend into the exhaust stream?

I've been running my VFR for a while now without a heat shield and even with the stock headers on, I can feel the heat through my boot. It's fine while you're on the move, but does tend to get a little toasty when you're sat at the lights. I wouldn't want to ride it without boots and leathers on.
