please help anyone have any ideas??? -
The only thing I can think of is an aftermarket 4 into 1 header that Jardine used to make. The collector was centered under the bike more so than the current MAC and Vance & Hines systems are. The trouble is they haven't made that in years but I have seen them pop up on e-bay every so often. Otherwise you'll probably be looking at fabbing up some sort of custom setup.
EDIT: here's on on e-bay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuk...spagenameZWDVWLast edited by Guest; 06-25-2008, 02:27 PM.Comment

A sidewinder will simply compound the problem, only it will happen when you turn right. Nice and dangerous. Sounds like that thing is undersprung with the modern mods. You could try beefing up the suspension, using a longer set of shocks, ( i put a GS1100 swinger on my 77, and had to use 14.5 inch shocks in back to restore ride hight) and some longer/stiffer front springs. Are the forks pushed up thru the clamps at all?Originally posted by grizz1981 View PostComment

you could also try putting a spacer into your forks to bring them up a little higher....
that would raise you up a little bitComment
