Vance & Hines header

I have a 1982 LTD 1000 with stock air box which runs perfect. Vance & Hines does not make header for this model. I would like to install a vance & hines header on this bike with a baffle. I will be keeping the stock air box. I will rejet. This is a steet bike. This bike is very quiet with stock exhaust. Would like to make a little more noise for safety sake also is 1 jet size big enough? Thanks for the help

I don't see why one off a KZ1000 won't fit unless the mount is in a different place. The one I have was supposed to fit the Z1/KZ 900/1000's. It came with a stock baffle and I got the competition and drag baffles. The stock baffle was restrictive so one size jetting would have worked.

V&H tech said "forget it", but considering the J-model 1000 and 1100 engine and frame-cradle are essentially the same, I opted for the V&H 13009-J regardless. :)

Why did they say forget it? Your stinger is lower than mine, is that it?

The Pro Pipe/drag model is the only header V&H has available for the KZ1100A. I prefer leaning into right turns which could be problematic with that one. Other than the Mac, the options for my bike are basically none.
Regarding my stinger...I don't know. :unsure: I'll ask my wife.

I believe that model was designed specifically for the 1982 KZ1000-J
You may have to take the chance and modify something to make it work on your bike. In my case, the rear foot-rest bracket is longer than the KZ1000-J, requiring a spacer on the collector flange, and the megaphone mounting tab needed to be tweaked to align properly. The megaphone slips over the header by only 5/8", but it works very well...oil/filter changes are a breeze, and the center-stand comes in handy more often than not. The baffle options V&H has available for this header make a typical Harley sound like crap.

Put up a pic of the right side of your bike so that we can help you chose.

The 13009-J might possibly bolt right up, but have your bike right side up before trying it. :laugh:
You might research the rear peg mounting bracket, if it is the same part number as the 1000-J. If so, you may have a no-brainer project.
