short header pipe...
Permalink  
 

got a short header pipe from brian a couple of weeks ago... 

Gave it run 2 day  on a trail ride....

all I can say is what a diffrents... the short header pipe combined

with the GYTR tail pipe really makes the little TTR come alive..

when I left the start was a short run to a left hand corner..went in as normal

got half way though & gave it a hand full of throttle .. It just hung the tail out..

hasn't been able to do that before... " almost ended up in a ditch on the out side

of the corner"

they make the motor faster reving & more responsive to the throttle..

they are well worth putting on....smile

Just a shame you can't use an oil cooler with the short header pipe

Yeah - I agree!

It was pointed out to me after sending a shorty pipe to a customer in Uganda disbelief

I tried it on my 325 and he was unfortunately right. It was such a faff getting the bend right when I first had these pipes made up that I really don't want to change their jig to increase the space cry 

I think it may be possible to do a bit of judicious bending of the cooler mount and pipes to clear the header but I can't advise customers to do that!
