Has anybody collected and posted a thread of headers with the names of manufacturers?
I saw a nice mag wheel thread last year and was wondering if anyone has done the same with headers and pipes?
Maybe my search skills are rusty but I couldn't find one.

Thanks,
Bill

Somebody posted this awhile ago. Period article. http://www.hondachopper.com/garage/articles/header_guide/page1.html

Thanks.

That is a good start. I think I have to go take a few pics and get this started. Problem is I have no idea who made 1/2 the headers I have. Hopefully as we post some pics the names will start comming out.

That's a chopper guide is a great start indeed.
I like the Kooks pipes.

I have a set of the short Kooks mounted up on a bike. They are the 1-4 , 2-3 type of a cross over.For their size they actually have a pretty good baffle in them and are not as loud as they look. Pretty light weight also.

OK these are not the greatest shots and I am missing my newest header, (I will post it shortly)

But take a look at these and let me know who made 'em.

One more that I have no clue other than it looks similar to the Motad mufflers from europe for a 750K...

Thos eare all I have for now.

The one with the rusted hole looks like a Yoshi handbent... RR

fasturd · « **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2011, 04:17:37 PM »

I agree on the Yosh part but I don't think it is a hand bent as it has a small section of straight tube. Aren't the hand bent ones a complete flowing curve? That one will be on one of my 400s some day in the future.

Fast - the first pipe on your bike looks awesome!

Here's some pics of the Hookers as shown on page 3 of the Honda Chopper Article. They are about to be replaced by a set of new HM300's. I traded the Hookers for a kickstand

My Yoshi first gen is for a CB750 and I've never owned anything for a 400, so... ah dunno.

The hookers are cool but I have to agree the 300s will be awesome.

I agree it is pretty cool the head pipe has some chrome issues but I don't know who made it.

I'll have to get a good picture but I have a set of 4 into 1's I believe are Jardines.

754 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 21, 2011, 09:15:17 PM »

The set of 4 pipe pics,
First one..dont know
Second American Motorsports***, cant remember the whole name, can see the adin my mind, think the logo was in a circle split into 3 with A, M and another letter.
Third Yoshi 2nd generation looks like.
Fourth looks a bit familiar, maybe Delta? or something like that

I sorta like the Hooker 4-2 too bad they are so far away..
Brown 500, those are Action 4s.

Is that a bottle of NOS?!?!?

underachiever · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2011, 02:34:05 PM »

Since we're playing name that pipe, I'd like to know about mine too. It's similar but different from the Action Four above. And a little more beaten up.

fasturd · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2011, 03:28:12 PM »

@ underachiver those are pretty cool! But I have no idea.

fasturd · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2011, 12:45:39 PM »

So the yosh pretty much sounds like just about everyheader with no muffler...lol No wonder they are so light...
