Bit of a long shot this one - not even sure if they are available.
Looking for flanges for a Gen 1 system (3 bolt) that are connected / retained to the downpipes by springs. I've got a set with G2 4 bolt flanges but looking for the 3 bolt type. Cheers

get a grn1 flange go chat up you friendly water jet cutter man and get some made then welded ontod some small lengths of tube
Know I didn’t know you’d bought a gen2 system let’s hope it clears the oil cooler and the rear fits through the swingarm ok Oh and the left can will stick out further

Its not a Gen 2 system, its a Gen 1 system but the engine had gen 2 heads - hence the 4 bolt flanges. The bike it was fitted is a Gen 1 and no problems with fitting or clearance.

I have two sets of Gen 1 flanges. An Arrow set (brand new) , and a Tig craft set.Message me if you are interested. If your Gen 2 flanges are in good shape, I would be happy to do a straight swap. Bill.

Del, if you are in need of a unmodified front Akra Gen 1 header tube to make your conversion easier with the Akra Gen 1 flanges, just drop me a line. I have one.
Bill.

Hey Bill,
Thank you for the offer but I think I should be good. Downpipes and flanges in at engineering firm at the moment to try and get the flanges to fit the oval headers. Previous system owner also sent a pair of unmodified Gen 1 header pipes in case i went down the route of needing welding work done. But for me, getting the flanges from you to fit is a better option. Did my ones ever arrive to you? |

Not as of yet but I am guessing in the next couple of days.
Came across the Akra front header in my assortment of parts, thought I would mention it as an option. Cheers Bill. |

Hi Bill,
Definitley slower going West than yours were coming East. Did you check the tracking details ? I didn't realise they were Akra headers you had, I just got basic Tuono ones In case I needed to butcher them. Front header nuts were a pain - one was fine,one came off with stud attached and one needed the chisel on it. Any socket I tried just destroyed the edges a bit more. Rear ones next - they look mint but reaching them is the biggest pain. Cheers Del

1/4 drive socket set is the easiest I've found for the rear header pipes.

Me neither, but you'll be suprised what you can find on Tinder.

 - I'm sure you're right but the flanges I got are even better than tinder.....probably. They're certainly harder to get access to.....and just as capable of destroying nuts. |

If I told the missus I was going to measure flanges in Bothel she would wrap one of my titanium Akras around my head....

This sounds like a continuation of the Bothel/Brothel story...
