    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Good price. Some say the Macs are junk.
Looks like a good deal though.
 
I've heard that too. Don't know what makes them junk. I got a can off cafekid on sat and it will not fit my sidewinder. I know you said you have a Yosh? Don't know if it would work. I'm getting antsy, Bought the bike over month ago and it's been down for over a week!! I know, patience. Carbs are back together and will start to tune but want right pipe on.
 
Chrome flakes, they rust and they sound bad.
The Yosh headers are in solid shape but have a little rust on them. I have a pic of you are interested.

I figured that thing would slide on that pipe for sure...My bad man :( You want the $$ back for it? Not really doing you any good is it? Or... if you want to work a deal, i suppose i can let my VH go....*sigh* damn i like that pipe, but If you want it, we'll work something out.. I have a few pipes i can use for my other projects...
 
Well. it did slide on, but like you were saying, it's meant to go on a pipe that routes from under, not from the side. The bends in the can won't play with the pegs and stuff. Did you see that Mac I found on sleezbay? Black ceramic, but if the sound is lame I'll loose the name. I've heard far too many crappy pipes to mount one myself. So the V&h you say... think it would bolt and jolt?
 
I would have bought it but i do not have a PayPal Account.
Keep the header and sell the muffler and then go looking for a more suitable can. I agree that the Mac chrome quality is poor but i have had much better luck with the "black ceramic chrome?" finish on a set of headers on a Honda.
 
That header is a great price. Someone should grab that thing, it won't last.

The coating they use is thick and will last pretty well. Mac is not the best but unless you are racing that header will be perfectly serviceable.
 
It;s too bad few manufacturers make pipes for the GS but at least the GS pipes lasted longer than anyone's

i KNOW it will. Ive pulled it off and put it back on many o' time. You'll have to use that can you have there. I will pull the baffle for it, and you can have the header to collector pipes. Will bolt right on, and you're off like a dress on prom night.
 
Even if he puts a can on the sidewinders he will still have an issue with clearance.
