Hello All,

Anyone have a lead on a header supplier / manufacturer for a voyager ZN1300 project? State side would be preferable for shipping but any lead would be appreciated. I'm trying to build a very simple bike that sits like a Norton I once owned but with the 3' wide engine.

Thank You.

The previous owner of my bike put a set of helix-dunstall aftermarket exhaust on my bike,I really like the sound.....but I did'nt like the way he installed them with the bracketry showing on the outside....I think brackets should be on the inside out of sight.I wanted to change this ,so folks did'nt think I installed them bassackwar :silly: ds

....So I spent a few hours measuring, heating ,bending cutting some steel stock that I had in one of my cabinets of M/C stuff , and here's a look at what I came up with.



A quick coating of rattle-can paint ,and time to install.

Here's a look at the install :

Thanks Tony.

The dunstalls look perfect on the bike especially with the bracket rework.

Did you connect to the stock downpipes?

Thanks, Louis

Hello Medlock 1,

....The stock pipes (as you know) end up just behind the rider footrests. The touring(mufflers)
were removed (as this 1300 is a 85'voyager) and these aftermarket pipes slip onto the existing downtubes......The hanger brackets that you see in the first pics, are included in the box as what I am assuming are a generic "fits all" set of brackets ! I did not like that look ....so chose to make my own.....a bit time consuming...but what are ya gonna do ? :lol: ....tony :)
