    Exhaust headers-where to buy, compatibility?

    I now this is old but I thought I would post an update. I have found some decent 175 headers that I decided to scuff, clean and paint with a high temp exhaust paint. I'll then fit up some nice pipes from DCC.

My dad just bought it to ride to work every day to combat the effects of the oil crisis then. We had it in our family until my parents divorced in 1989 and my...
