Spring is here in CT & so is Christmas!

Gonna give the headers another go tomorrow morning before I throw in the towel and Have Honda do it. My Triumph buddy Uncle Charlie is gonna swing by to add a second set of hands. I got an email from Mr.T and he said that each flange is numbered and that I should first attach all four pipes, in their correct order, to the engine and then afterward fit the collector onto the 4 pipes. I'm gonna go with Steve's suggestions of flipping the flanges to see if one side fits better than the other and making sure to mount the center stand stop before the collector is installed,which should give me more room to work. I did dry fit the pipes into the collector last night and they do indeed fit nicely.

I also stepped on the scale and weighed myself, then stepped off and grabbed the whole system and stepped back on and it looked like it added on approximately 17lbs.

If anyone else has any suggestions that might make the header install go easier please chime in. BTW - whoever said I should tape the frame before starting gave a great tip . . . if only I had done that in the first place . . . :-(
Here's a pretty decent picture of the orientation of the pipes - [url=http://ryujin-japan.jp/service/assets_c/2014/06/SDIM1699a-7994.html]http://ryujin-japan.jp/service/assets_c/2014/06/SDIM1699a-7994.html
