new exhaust downpipes .. where to get ?

[Geordie]

Hello stormers
just a quick ask .. I want to replace my shagged downpipes with something newer and cleaner flowing internally .. Hondas originals are shite tbh .. lol
Anybody bought from sandys bike spares on here ? Any goos ? .. mate of mine has a set of theirs on his thunderace fits well ..
I was going to get a custom job done standard sizes and fit as not too upset the fueling ..
any other sources ? ..
Cheers
Geordie

Those are the Sandy bike spares headers, look better quality than Honda, but mainly coz they iz shiny innit

Sandy bikes stopped making them. Shame really as they where the only pattern headers about. There's a firm in Germany making header for out bikes on eBay. I came across them a couple of weeks ago. I shall see If I can find the link later.

Yes ive just phobed them they had another batch imported i think from australia .. i was trying to quiz the guy about the quality and the internal flow quality .. he just didnt seem to understand what i was referring to .. do i speak greek or something ?? ..
But aye theres very little else ..
nobody on here fitted anything from sandys ?

german ones listed below.

sandy bike spares headers are listed as 304 grade stainless, no mention of what the german ones are, they don't look as shiny as the sandy ones.

If I brought new headers Id have them chromed before fitting as that way they will always stay nice and shiny

I'm being a div. I thought they had stopped them moths ago. Maybe they are running another batch.

not much use but i got a set of headers from them for a zx7r i had. really well made and fitted perfect but they caused a hole the size of the grand canyon on the 7r but the kawa is super touchy about header design.

I bought a set a few yrs back, good quality but the fit is sh1t, had to use spacers to make the cans fit as the pipes were slightly out compared to the originals, I still have them on my bike but not 100per cent happy

[Geordie]

Would really prefer a custom set made to fit everything else just as it is rather than have to bend and force it all together .. did the collars fit into the cylinder heads accurately ?
Has anybody had a custom set made ?

[agentpineapple]

it can't be cheap getting a set made, but other than originals or the pattern part, you don't have many options, second hand systems are really hard to find these days....

[Geordie]

Aye .. only other aftermarket make id been told was delkovic but cant see any listed with them. Think ill buy a set from sandys and if the fit is too far out could always get them modified slightly to fit better ..
cheers guys
