3TB headers

After a load of years the headers have finally rusted through where the diameter changes at the port. So, two questions........

1 : does any one in the UK have a header lying around for sale ready to post?

2 : what is the best v cheapest option for a new replacement ?

3TB XT600E

Cheers

Ebay you find alot of the old headers with rust and paint over.. I bought the ALU headers and they fit good, look good a little bit bigger inside and you never have to worry about the rust again.

Yes its a bit difference on the front pipe to the right side, no mounting for pipe guard on the side and not high polished. It will do the same job and no more rust for you, you get satisfied

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
