Default Re: headers

Yo.

I'm not the best to comment on this but I would say due to the wiring for an injection model that carbs are a no no.
Not even sure if they would fir between the cylinders?

Default Re: headers

He's not asking if carbs will fit, he's asking if exhaust headers from a carbed bike will fit....

the answer is sort of, they do actually fit and bolt into place, however they will foul on the oil cooler (K3 onward have a "kink" to go round it), so you'd have to move it and blank the feed holes off, it can be done, but most people wouldn't bother.

Cheers Mark.

They are cheap, anyone who has put full system on will usually sell them on.
