R6 header mounting options

[UpInTheAir89]

The the build thread for what it looks like now: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-streetfighter/56744-journey-so-far-lessons-learned.html

I swapped my headers for some R6 headers, and I'm more than happy with the results.
What I'm worried about at the moment though is that the exhaust is just mounted via the header bolts (nothing underbelly) It's close to a couple pieces, but didn't line up perfectly.



It seems a bit far from the original exhaust mount point to use that one, but it seems like it's close enough to try and mount to the center stand bracket. Not sure what the best way to go about that would be though. Thoughts?

You might look at an S1 hanger and build a bracket to pair the two. It bolt to the frame and has an isolator biscuit.

The header expands and contracts so it can not be mounted solid. You need one of the isolators in there.

Here is an S1 mount. Note S2 bike has an s1 header..

That ^^ or cut the bracket off your old header and adapt (bend, etc) it to meet the header pipe.

Then TIG or MIG weld it on permanently
