David,

Sorry....when it comes to the headers...it doesn't work like that.

It is important to get the headers on the correct side because if you don't they will interfere with the crash bars and not mount up right.

When I was installing my new headers I didn't think that they were LH/RH side specific. I lost the coin toss and ended up having to reinstall the headers to their correct sides.

The worst part about it all was having to deal with the Permatex gasket sealant that was getting on everything. I had to take an extra swig of beer :-)

Regards...Ian

I don't know whether one cylinder is ahead of the other or not. As far I I can tell, you pick up one of the header pipes (doesn't matter which one) and use it. The one you don't use is the one that is left. Beauty of this method is that it is repeatable. Works the same way every time, and I don't even need to check the bike.

Thanks,
David
