I am keeping close tabs on the custom header build that is ongoing as I speak. But if that doesn't work I am assuming that there are still other options available, including from the factory. Mine are rusted and I know at some point they will have to be replaced regardless of whether they're Factory or not. has anyone ordered a header straight from Honda as a factory replacement?
Ya know that's a pretty straight forward question, the dealer here says, Honda has it in the works being made for the 98-99 vfr 800 by a company called Vintage parts Inc. go figure. any who they are listed at $712.00, but as it reads they are on back order, so no telling from the conversation how long out they are. Yes, we, I, are still working out the bug a boos here on a header, just ran into something interesting. ;)
There's a set of stock headers in the classifieds (Mr. John) that have been stored since approx 3000 miles. (I know this because I recently sold them to him along with a 5th Gen I owned for almost 20 years. I installed aftermarket the first year).
