I'd still have to cut up the Zip Ty, right?
What about the head stay? Think it would be OK to run w.out one?

That is correct you would still have to cut the zip ty, but it doesn't look like it would be a big job. As far as the head stay, you could probably get by without it but you may ge more vibration, I just don't know. As far as the head stay, it could be made from steel rather than aluminum if your more comfortable with steel, not a big job to make. I did find a pipe in europe that was made for a 500 motor in a 250 chassis, it was a company in italy called Jolly Moto, but the price was $1400 US, that didn't work for me. SPES used to make a pipe, but now there all under the DOMA umbrella and they don't list one in the US, perhaps they do in Europe.

Take a look at the job this guy did on his hybrid. That's one nice pipe! Can anyone make out who may have made it? There's a tag welded to it.

Me thinks FloTek built that pipe. Guessing they had the bike to do so because it sure is a nice fit.
gwcrim:
Well I wonder if they kept the specs?
