The jig is defo easily replicated, it's the completed set that I'd need to be able to measure and replicate the angles, I'd probable make one out of cold rolled just to get a feel for the compound bends and angles in each piece of tube then make one out of stainless or whatever material is required/desired.

Member Contributer RC51Nick Posted October 19, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted October 19, 2023 So sad to hear about sfdownhill. I never met him but we had several conversations concerning Rapid Bike and the VFR headers. All my dealings with him were top notch. He will be missed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4Runner Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Good Day, I'm a new arrival to the vfr forum (i made an account just to post in this thread) and just absolutely gutted hearing about this tragic news 😞 (I've been observing in passing the past couple of months as I want to get a set of these headers for a winter build as the quality looks top notch & the collector design compared to some of the limited options out there! {is there any video or sound clips of this set-up?} ). I've been trying to catch up on the 65 pages to see if there are any left for the taking /a new wish list is being filled or did I show up too late with the given unfortunate circumstances? (in search of : a set of these for a 99 5th gen vfr, no preference on high or low set-up) Kind regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted October 22, 2023 Member Contributer Share Posted October 22, 2023 20230708_083305.mp4 Sound quality is not great and the sound will depend on pipe used-this is a Vance & Hines Ti pipe. Mine is a '98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the VERY off-chance someone in the UK or EU wants a 5th-gen version, I have an unfitted one I just received from the most recent production run, and I would be happy to swap it for an 8th-gen version (to facilitate a center radiator). Cheers, JZH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morados Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I am looking for a Gen 8 performance TBR Replica header if someone is willing to part with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RC51Nick Posted Sunday at 11:37 PM Member Contributer Share Posted Sunday at 11:37 PM Question for those who have installed the new header on their 6th gen. How do you handle the heatshield attached to the R/S rearset. Did you remove the shield with those hard to get nuts on the back of it and move the rearset out of the way? Did you brake the break system and remove the whole rearset/shield assembly. I know it has to be removed to get to the rear header and clamp boltts. I'm finally getting around to installing my header after a hip replacement this winter. Any help would be appreciated. I' really dont want to brake open the brake system with stories I've heard about trying to bleed a linked brake system. Thanks, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
