Obviously made some good progress yesterday. I ordered up a 1 5/8" small block header kit for the bends and pipe. Took the Vance and Hines header and cut the collector off it. Then started to see what I could use from it and the header kit. We tried to keep the header tubes as close to the same length. Header is going to a buddy's for him to tig it up. Then bolt it back on the back, cut to length and get the collector fitted. I am going to fit the collector close to sweep. Then shorten the collector for the 2 1/4'' pipe to the muffler, weld on the spring hooks for the muffler and it should be off to get sand blasted and ready for power coat!!!
This will be the first of a many headers for the bike. From what we have been told, header is key to maintain the power. Down the road we are planning on geting some more dyno time and swap headers to find the sweet spot!!! Having a ton of fun with the this project. Can't wait for the next. Thinking about another one for next year already!!!!!!
