I wasn't too happy with the GSXR 11 G/H OEM headers as they touched the bottom of the engine despite milling the bottom plate.
They were also quite heavy.
Luckily a few days ago an ad appeared for a "Devil" header for the same engine.
Devil was a french company that in it's days was the equivalent to today's Akrapovic.
All period modified GSXR's ran with these exhausts.
I forgot to mention that most models came in stainless steel.
Here's a picture

And positionned on the bike.
There is some work to be done towards the exit but nothing too bad

6 years later, here's an update about the XR41 replica I built.
The bike has been running from time to time and is in perfect condition except that it had not been painted.
Two reasons for that: the cost and the design.
I wanted something that didn't look too modern and in line with the style of the racing bikes of the 80's.
Finally I went for the colours of the GS 1000 ST red version and the style of the "Team Force" XR 69 replica used in Classic racing.

For instance the chain drive would slightly touch the transverse lower frame rail of the GSXR chassis.
It was simply a question of filing the extra matter but it meant pulling the complete rear swingarm out with it's complex shock mecanism.
It took quite some time to get it right of course...sigpicJohn Kat
