As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Header Pipes Question

Gday folks,

Im struggling to find a set of header pipes for my GSX250 and dont really want to pay the $650+ i was quoted for a set of 2 into 1's custom made. I have however found a set off a GSX400 twin of the same age as my bike. I know the vast majority of parts are the same between the two bikes, but can anyone tell me if the headers are going to fit?

Cheers

Sam
 
I haven't seen a 250 up close in person to know for sure, but I suspect they would fit.

If my 450 was here I'd measure the holes for you, but unfortunately it's residing at Tranzac for the present time until my exhaust is finished...

Where did you get the custom quote from?

You can try Tranzac as he may have a jig already set to go for the 250, but you can also try Motorcycle Exhaust Professionals as they used to import Motad exhausts.

There's also Pipemasters at Albion I believe, and you might also try Albion Bike Wreckers to see if he has an old set there, pretty much the only wrecker left in Brissie from what I can tell. There's also Tiaro motorcycle wreckers out west somewhere...
 
Cheers Pete,

I got the quote from motorcycle exhaust professionals, and also from a joint in Geebung, which was around a similar price. I was hoping somewhere would have a jig but of the places I emailed nobody seemed like they could knock up a set easily.

Tiaro wreckers is where I found the 2 into 1 pipes, I might just buy em and if they don't fit flip them on ebay. I don't think there will be many issues with it fitting though, just wanted to check if anybody knew for sure if they would or wouldn't.

Cheers
Sam
 
Ok cool.

You'll only get Tranzac by 'phone, the guy told me he's "not real good with that email stuff"... :)

If they're not too expensive, I'd probably give the 400 pipes a shot.
 
If the ports are too small, a reduced diameter section could be welded on easily enough.
Changing the spacing wouldn't be that hard either.

I was of the impression they both took 35mm headers?

Ill just give it a shot and see how they go, worst thing that can happen is they dont fit!
