A little known fact is....DOHC 750/9001100 pipes work on SOHC 750 fours. There is some interference with oil pan on the wet sump DOHC, but as far as hooking up to head ex ports...exact same fitment. better to but painted versions of DOHC pipes, as to allow for some cutting/welding to make fitment perfect.

Hey Kos
What do you think of using this V&H SideWinder/ Pro Pipe on a street/ strip 750 K8? I am already very familiar with ground clearance issues as I have been running very low struts with fork tubes dropped 2". This pipe just does something for me, I like it, I drag race often and see that most successful racers are using this pipe or a version there of. I am going to try it, soon as I can afford one and they are very reasonable. Also I agree about painting it VHT black, That I will do. I just want this Mac to go away !

Drag race sidewinders are cool....I would do it in a minute, but you must never plan on turning right!

I knew a guy from Kelowna, BC who's bike was low enough that he used his sidewinder pipe as a kick stand. Made it easy to park in the staging lanes...  ;D

Here is the SideWinder on my K8. It actually went on very easily, need to fab up a better can to header clamp, didn't come with one, I have an aluminum bracket attached to the foot peg bolt. ken at Cycle X sent me (free) a larger clamp to go to the rear peg but haven't used it yet, may not at all. Over all I am very satisfied with this pipe, it sounds incredible, LOUD , no baffle comes with it either. I definitely will make a baffle, this thing sets off car alarms just idling along. And it is low, right turns must be planned in advance, will be losing the short shocks very soon and going to at least a 13.5. Exactly $100. less than the Mac and IMHO a much better looking pipe, much better sounding for sure ! Also the stumble, blubbering off idle is gone with the open pipe,I am well pleased! Take a look !

Ok , don't tease me , let's see some more pics of that bike ! Is that it in your avatar ? Looks good ! I had to put a baffle in mine, it was killing me ! An old Kerker fit perfect and it still sounds very nice

Sir , that is very awesome ! Any issues or excitement with right turns ? I have a similar fairing , think I'm gonna lose it when I do my build.
