I am looking to buy a 900rr header for my 919. I don't have the money for a NOS one and I figured I may help someone clean out their garage. Anyone that has one in good shape and is interested in selling post here or send me a PM.
eBay is your best bet. A lot of people looking for these and most on eBay are pretty used, meaning beat up bad. And they want an arm and leg for them. Good luck.
Yeah that is where I have been looking. All of them are exactly as you described, beat up and over priced. I've noticed most say they came of 2,000 mile bikes. That must have been a rough 2,000 miles.
IMO I would buy that one. The key is free shipping. Those things cost about $40 for UPS ground shipping. Looks to be in good shape and they clean up really good.
here are some before and after on mine. I picked mine up for $85 free shipping; I consider that a deal as well.
Note, those are bolt on, not slip on like the headers I picked up. So be wise in choosing your exhaust can, either bolt on for an easy fit, or slip on and cut the bolt flange off on the mid-pipe.

It'll probably be a while, I have to decide on what kind of can I will run first if my SS 2 Bros doesn't work for the time being.
And I think I will really need to clean that baby up to, I haven't decided if I will ceramic coat it, use high temp paint, or just clean it and let it be.
You know, you guys are really, I mean really good at helping me spend my money lol
BTW I just purchased it
After you do the switch, feel free to send me your old pipes and shields! Finders fee right!? Glad I could help. For $75, I almost bought it, but I'm not yet interested in doing the conversion. We WILL want pics. so get a move on!

I had actually been on ebay almost everyday looking at headers, I had seen these but just didn't jump on it. I think I was just a little uneasy at buying something not in new or mint condition, the encouragement of WT caused me to jump on it yesterday.
Anybody remember the cost of ceramic coating their headers?
Cost me $150 at a local guy's shop that also did powdercoating. That was bead blasted inside and outside first, and then coated inside and outside. He did a VERY good job.
Be warned that you might have to sand down the joints afterwards. I was unable to slip the mid-pipe back on without first sanding the inside and outside of the joint.
My friend is trying to talk me into swain coating...I don't know much about it yet though. Midpipe and muffler arrived just now so I'll have a busy afternoon
