Hard to see in this pic but best I have unfortunately.

Beat me to it. My 5th gen is standard. Torque these to spec, too. They have lot of threads for medium loctite, and a wavey washer. These do a great job at keeping them from vibrating out. There's nothing to be bought by overstressing the bolt.

That looks like something prime to 3D print too... if someone has a drawing I could look into it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to hear about the trouble with the shop, that sucks. That seems to be a part I could produce. If a solution isn't found by the time I get my 8th gen headers on my bike, I'll be able to offer whatever part I make for myself to those that still need them.

Don't forget that the righthand centre stand bolt, looking from the rear towards the front, is a LEFTHAND thread. There have been many, many that have been snapped off when trying to remove the stand!

I think I had more space due to the fact that the 6th gen headers had that extra lil bit of length removed from the outlet ping for better fitment if I recall correctly, but what ever the reason, the headers I had for my 6th gen didn't require center stand removal [emoji2369] Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

When I added my custom High mount pipe, I forgot to spec a stand stop. So I bought some 4mm wall silicone hose cut a 2” length then slit it along one side. Slid it on to the right leg of the centre stand, whilst the bike was on the side stand, adjusted it in place to centre on the contact with the exhaust & cut a little away to fit around the stand cross bar. Once all adjusted, I cable tied it in place. Worked a treat !

Not every header is 100% the same mine had plenty of space to fit that center stand through that gap, just an FYI Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

🤔Would it be easier for the stop to be attached to the c stand somehow?

Just wanted to give an update for you all. I wanted to chime in earlier but I was helping a fellow VFR owner rebuild his entire 5 Gen braking system. That includes rebuilding all 4 master cylinders (3 brake and 1 clutch) and the secondary MC and all three calipers. Plus replacing the rear rotor (long story) and replacing the brake lines to stainless steel Galfer lines! Yeah long day and we got close but ran into a few SNAFUs and have to order a couple more parts, so we'll have to continue another day. Anyway, on to my update, yes we were able to get the first lot of 5/6 Gen headers finally, Whew! that was fun but in regards to those who are waiting for center stand stops. That's a sore subject at the moment. The second party we approached to handle this said they needed a bike with the new headers on and some sort of mock up of what we were looking for. SF had made a template that was meant to be used with a T-clamp and would have been able to work with either gen. However, the folks who had the task did not seem to not understand that the template was a concept piece and not a fully functional piece, it needed work and figuring out, which was supposed to be their job.. Well they took it as "Here, make some of these and add them to the t-clamps" So after keeping the bike for a week and producing useless components, which they determined wouldn't work after they made them, said "We tried but could get what you wanted to work. But we did provide you with parts we made from your template, that'll be $150 please". Needless to say, this was not what we were expecting, especially being handed cut pieces of steel that was pattered off of a "concept" piece! So now we are looking to try another shop that was too busy to handle the first attempt as well as another concept that might work just as well if not better! In summary, those who ordered and are waiting for center stand stops, please be patient, we are working on it. Cheers, D

Soooo uh why did we have to remove the center stand..? The pipes go right through it without removing it... Unless I'm missing something here.... Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

You have to drop the headers to get the centerstand on. They basically have to go on together, in fact, lower the headers and thread the stand up between, bolt on the stand, then put the headers back into place, There's just no way to get the bolt in the right side space otherwise.

Lance, Please let me know when the next batch of 5th and 6th gens are geared up to be made. I'm def ready to pull the trigger for the 2nd run of these. Real curious to hear feedback from the guys running Staintunes on the 6th gen and how much of an issue it was getting the slipon midpipe to connect to the header (i.e. enlraging the end) Big thanks for getting these made.

Just thought I'd chime in here too. Drove down to Duc2V4's place on Sunday to pick up my 2 sets. We had a good chat, and I left a case of ale for him & SF. The pipes look great! My GPR, and Scorpion mid pipes will need stretching, but my TBR will slip right on. I probably won't be able to mount 'em up for a few weeks as we have a race coming up, and there's a lot of prep to do on the car as well as the normal packing/RV related stuff. I'll post updates as things progress. Thanks again to you guys for making this happen. I still peek in the box in the garage with a bit of disbelief.
