any header for 900/1000 should fit,you might need to make or modify rear mounting bracket is all B)

Often quite simple to fabricate a bracket.

Just cut and bend some flat stock to shape desired, bore a couple of holes, paint flat black, and attach.

I enjoy using a small rubber motor mount to attach the muffler to the bracket, which eliminates vibration otherwise imparted from the muffler to the frame.

Here's a pic on KZ900 LTD.

Good Luck!

The muffler pictured in the foregoing post is a Kerker.

I myself prefer the MAC HTS canister muffler over the Megaphone muffler they have. The HTS canister has more power and is a bit quieter. www.macperformance.com/store/category.cfm?SID=3&Category_ID=628 I also think that the sound is a bit crisper on the HTS over the megaphone. I find the Vance & Hines and Kerker pipes a bit too loud. In my time I have had every pipe under the sun, and the best pipe ever made is the first Yoshimura, which is no longer made but is VERY closely represented by the MAC. The reason for that is, that MAC made them for Yoshi back in the early and mid 70s.
