They'll bolt up to the head, don't know if they'll fit the frame though.
It'll be cool and different if you can make it work - might be a little hot!

Yes! That is an awesome looking bike! The center stand battery holder is a nice touch too. That protruding center stand bit has always pissed me off...
That second link is pretty well sorted as well. Those pipes are made by BC & the hangers actually attach right to the motor. I don't love the one per side look but I like the mounting solution.
Any more high pipe pics out there?

That's some strong feelings about some center stand mounts there. I like the bike over all. The rear fender is well I'll have to look at it again later.

I just find that the bottom of the bike looks funny with short pipes due to the mount protruding out into space. Looks much better with a battery in there!

I have wanted to use a set of those headers for years nopw for an idea I have but haven't found a reasonably priced set yet.I think a skirted early sportster fender would look good on the back of that bike.

If that was closer I would jump on it them resell the mufflers and probably end up with free headers.

I would like to see one built with the head on backward so the carbs would be in front and the exhaust would run staight out of the back of the heads "Y" into one 2" pipe that runs right out the back under the seat and over the back wheel.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So after 3 days not hearing anything I call the guy back. Turns out he has decided not to sell the pipes, but save them "just in case"...

I want to do that on my Speedy but by the looks of it I will have to get a set of pipes all bent up for me from scratch.
