Okay, I think I can make it work. Payment information ,please?

The pipes I had were a combination of stock pipes and muffler shop tubing. Or, it could have been an old swing set for all I know. The header wrap hid horrible welds.

Oh, those headers are in the dump already. They were poorly welded, cracked, rusted, etc. Total junk.

It LOOKS like your head pipes, while a little more curvy since they're the Special, end at about the same spot. The P.O. had welded on an upswept extension. I'm looking to see if I can use the stock head pipes and a short reverse cone muffler. Or, possibly, the mufflers I have without the upsweep.

Thank you for the reply. I'm picking the bike up from the fabricator in the morning. I've been un-doing some mods made by the previous owner. All I have to look at right now are pics. If you can give me a day or so, I'd like to get the bike back in my possession and take a few measurements to...

Do you have a pic of what they looked like on the bike? Are the head pipes cut short or right where the stock mufflers would have started?

Definitely interested. Pics and a shipping quote for just the head pipes to 29730? What do the mufflers look like? Those Harley style cans? EDIT: I'll take the mufflers, too, if it doesn't add a ton to shipping. uberkafer@hotmail.com

I am. Pics and price, please.

Cool. Sent you a PM with my email.

So if I have the split washers and finned clamps, any pipe up to...what? '81? should work?

I need some head pipes or a 2-1 for a '77. I see lots of Special exhausts for sale, but the pipes look different to me....more curved/rounded. My search also showed up something about angled exhaust ports on some models? If I only need some head pipes, what will work on my bike/frame...

Luckily, I didn't pay a whole lot for the bike.

Right now, I'm in need of some head pipes.....anyone have a set they can spare? Then, next up is to straighten out the horrible wiring. I'll be installing stock handle bar risers and Clubmans, so the ergonomics will be MUCH better. After that, fork seals and fresh oil, then work on a couple...

He also made up a neat ignition switch holder.... And a bracket for the tail light. The P.O. had used a combination of booger welds, aftermarket tail light, stock lens and hot glue. It all crumbled the first time I removed the seat. This will allow me to run a readily available tail light.

I think I should change the name of this project to "Nightmare". It seems like everything I touch uncovers more shoddy work. One bright light in it all was meeting Mitch from Vulgar Cycles. He had a booth at the Charlotte CycleMania/Mods vs. Rockers event. I hauled the bike up to him and he...
