Just bought a beeeyootiful bone stock 81 1100E - about 25,000 miles. I'm cleaning her up and the only mod will be a header due to cracked original exhaust with "ugly" issues, and possibly filter pods. Question - I'm assuming Vance & Hines (?) is the only game in town anymore and 2) do I pick up a Dynojet kit and turn header and kit over to the shop or can I get close myself (not alot of experience with bikes, mostly hot rods). Any and all advise would be appreciated. I;ll get some pics up when she's back together.

Greetings and Salutations!!
Hi Mr. rebeldart,
The standard is K&N pod filters, Dynojet Stage 3 kit, and a V&H 4-n-1. It's entirely possible to do yourself and it's pretty straightforward as long as the rest of the maintenance is up to snuff. Let me share some more GS lovin'.
I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Wow
Now that's a welcome .... I will start pricing out the goodies tomorrow, just sold an old Satellite (car, not communications) and got a little "play money" for the GS and another car project - V & H pipe is the way to go I assume ( it's all I'd run anyway, unless Yoshi's were still around). Been 20 years since selling my 900F - couldn't resist the GS as it was a great price and my era for bikes (back when you could tell them apart at a glance, cars too !).Comment

I've been searching - any suggestions on best pricing/shipping for the header (I live close to JP so could save on shipping) I know price isn't everything ...........Comment

Best price on the V&H header was from Dennis Kirk - I'm not going with the pods, just a K&N filter on th stock box - any jetting advise would be appreciated as the header is due this week!Comment

Hi,
If you're keeping the stock airbox, chances are good that you won't have to re-jet. Although a Stage 1 kit is good for "evening out" the power band, you can accomplish pretty much the same thing by shimming the needles (raise them a bit) and tweaking the mixture screws using the "highest idle" method. The Stage 3 kit is unnecessary if you do not install pod filters.
Thank you for your indulgence,
