Author Message   Outdoors Posted on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 - 04:28 pm:        I have a race header and muffler for my M2 but still need a header shoe. Thought that I had one bought but no luck. I would even take a damaged one if good enough to use as a template. Also interested if anyone has the measurements of one so that I could get one made. Please...   Vecchio_lupo Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2012 - 12:54 pm:        Doesen't American Sport Bike sell them?   Outdoors Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2012 - 09:19 pm:        They haven't had them for quite awhile. Wish that someone would make up a batch...   Snp304 Posted on Thursday, March 01, 2012 - 09:22 pm:        add me to the list as well   Richardm2 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 02:25 pm:        Taking welding lessons soon so i can make my own, i have been looking for those things a long time.   Screamer Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 09:18 pm:        I have two new header shoes. send a PM if you're interested.   Outdoors Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 10:15 pm:        Screamer, pm sent.   Snp304 Posted on Friday, March 02, 2012 - 10:24 pm:        pm sent   Outdoors Posted on Saturday, March 03, 2012 - 08:41 am:        If I can buy one, I'm going to try a few places to see if I can get a few made.   Bluzm2 Posted on Saturday, March 03, 2012 - 12:06 pm:        I need one to if someone has one sitting on a shelf...   1313 Posted on Sunday, March 04, 2012 - 01:37 pm:        For all those who are in need of a race header shoe, I have a question. Is anyone running the updated exhaust hanger bracket? I know I used to burn through race header shoes on my S2 before I updated to the y-bracket style exhaust hanger. But since more bikes have been added to my fleet, the miles haven't been put on the S2 like in the past so I don't know if there is a correlation or not. If it turns out that the y-bracket helps the race header shoe live, I would wonder why anyone wouldn't update to the y-bracket. Just some thoughts that were bouncing around inside my noggin... 1313   Screamer Posted on Sunday, March 04, 2012 - 02:09 pm:        Brankin, The header shoe will fit either the original hanger bracket or the more durable Y bracket. I have the "header shoe" installed on the Y bracket on two of my tube-frame bikes. No issues - 10 k on one, 15K on the other since installation. The Y bracket is definitely worth installing on any tube frame - regardless of exhaust.

It just attaches a round clamp to a bolt, and needs to very sturdy, perhaps even 'fail-safe'. Not sure if allowing a bit of movement at this point would help, or hurt. The same guy who did the Stenzel Stutze thingie for the engine mounts also came up with a substitute for the Race Shoe. (Message edited by jayvee on March 07, 2012)
