Hi All,
I'm searching for a set of headers (or just the left one) and a crossover for an SF2
Seem to be made of unobtainium. Any ideas?

Not many owners retained the crossover, Rob. Many a sc rapped item. I think somewhere, someone has remanufactured them - they weren't simple cross-piece pipes either. I had new tucked-up headers made for my SF1. Gave loads more ground clearance, even racing at Wanneroo way back then.

Good luck.

Thanks. I've been trying to get something made but apparently the 40mm OD pipes are not made any more.
Where did you get yours made?
Thanks
Rob
 
Crossover replacements are available but you will need to search the net a bit. I am pretty sure Riccardo Oro and others in Italy have them, and Mal Cox and some other English exhaust place has/does headers that do away with the crossover and Mal also making a replacement crossover.
 
Rob , if you plan to ride this bike rnd corners......? steer clear of that bulbous crossover!

There has been aftermarket ones constructed over here in Vic (No where near as bulky as original)
If your really keen, drop me a line and i will put you in touch with the guy who's getting them made.
He may even have a factory one, surplus to needs.......?

Not at all Mr Muir, quiet the opposite. Perhaps why your needing another big banana?
worn a couple of holes in the last one :giggle:

Mo found it amusing following me n SF1 down to Skenes crk whilst spraying him with sparks.....Not!
In my defense your honor, we had just left the rubidee and I had a chicken parmee and a few pints of duch courage on board.

The first type of banan crossover was disastrous for grounding on bends, The second (factory) type was hardly any better and I could not see why they have wasted money dvelopng and engineering a new type, and (presumably) scrapped unused stock of the first type, these had the left and right edges raised a few degrees, which made it neccesarry to have indentations to clear various things that clashed, quite big dents in fact, but internally they were not that simple, because they have baffles etc, that encouraged the gases from the left pipe to exit the right silencer and verse vica. There have been aftermarket types that were empty, read what you like into that, but the best (that I ever did) was buy conversion pipes, that linked the pipe direct to the silencer, even that was not brilliant, the best was the SFC 2:1 which was great (this restricted access to the sump plate) but was much too noisy, so I settled on the SFC 2:1 system entirely, front pipes, maltese cross under the gearbox and SFC slash cut ended (shin shaver) and cut and shut type silencers, that was the best.

Exhaust tubes are freely available, under engine is more problematic.
I don't recommend doing away with it if you intend using the bike. It makes a pleasant relaxed bike unduly noisy.

Thanks heaps,

I'm very surprised that you can't find any. Since you're antipodean, DAM have them, no doubt Italbrit but their site is infected and maybe even Red has some kicking around.

Hi Paul,
DAM don't have any and I can't find an email for Oro. Nothing but a phone number on the website. No parts list or anything.
I'm trying ItalBrit at the moment.
I don't know Red.
Thanks,
Rob
 
Hi Rob,

I have a pair of almost new 40mm down pipes that were made to do away with the large balancer tube. I bought it from Andrighetto close to Breganze years ago but was unhappy with the way they run along the side of the engine, so I can only use them if I cut or bend them. They were mounted briefly, hence some scratches on the chrome where silencers slide on.
If you like a bit of adventure, they are for sale.

Marnix

Ok, thanks. When trying to access your site I found myself on a French language bike site.

Hi Rob, I can help with used SF2 headers that did about 18K miles in Texas (no salt, wet) and then sat for 35 years in a dry garage. They're in good rust-free shape but just need cleaning and should actually polish up. Message me your email, I'll send you photos.

Best,
