Yes, no reason why they shouldn't, and they have the optional 3-way tips on them that are getting hard to find these days.

Those look like used OEM pipes with Hondaline tips, so should fit.

Welcome to the forum! Stick around. I've been here about a year; some have been since the board started. It's a merry bunch of misfits!

This ebay ad is for the right side (throttle side) only I initially thought that too. But further down it describes it as both sides. I think I would corroborate that first before purchasing. |

I thought the same thing.
I asked the seller, about condition & if it was for both sides.
They assured me that it was both sides and in "real good shape".
I bought them, now I have my fingers crossed.
Now I'm guessing that since I have the 2 Brothers 6 into 6 pipes, I won't need to re jet.
Also a good time to do the desmog

3 Way Tips??? You mean the Piggie Pipes? Nope, "triple tips", unobtainium Hondaline accessory muffler tips. Mine got some rust on the bottom of them, remember to clean and dry off the bottom of your triple tips when you wash your bike or they'll get rusty on the bottom the way some people's headers do. At least I remembered to keep my headers clean and chromeular...  -Mike |

Good job  I've always thought the triple tip pipes looked the best. |

Get a new set of exhaust gaskets and make sure you dig the old ones out. Installation, it's easy to break header bolts so go easy. Little at a time re-tightened every couple hours and before each ride for awhile until the gaskets get fully compressed.

That ad was deceiving. The pic of both had the triple tips but the pic of the single had the standard tips. I hipe it turns out in your favor.

The tracking number, says the pipes will be here tonight.
The second link I posted, was to show a better picture of the triple tips.
Thanks for the tips on changing the exhaust. I will get the new gaskets, and some penetrating oil.
I tried to buy the desmog kit but there was an error on the page. After an email to Rich, I was assured I could order it through the website.
If anybody has more tips for the exhaust change or desmog kit, please let me know.
Thanks again for the help

The pipes came in, they are both triple tips in excellent condition. Should I buy aftermarket exhaust rings or stick to OEM? Also ordered the Red Eye desmog kit. |

I think you should get OEM copper hollow ring gaskets. Some people really like the aftermarket fiber ones, but they are thick and don't compress and I hated them when I got a set... didn't use them. -Mike "I'll trade you a set of regular tips for the triple tips :-) " |

I bought stainless lock washers for the exhaust studs from Lowes or Home Depot. Put them under the nut and torque to specs. I’ve not had to retighten my nuts again since. Before the lock washers, I had to keep checking my header nuts because they would loosen after riding. I found one was almost completely off and probably would have gotten lost in another few miles. I bought new gaskets, replaced them, installed the lock washers and nuts, and have never needed to retighten them.
Oh, make sure you tighten and torque them all evenly in increments. Use a mirror to make sure you got the old gaskets out. A couple of mine were tough to get at with the engine guards in place. A small screw driver made removal easier. Do not gouge the aluminum. If the new gaskets won’t stay in place, apply a small dab of grease so they will stick. My last go round, I applied a very thin coat of high temp rtv silicone to help them stay in place and add extra sealing insurance.

On making the copper O-rings stay in the wells - works best to use a Channel-locks (slip-jaw) pliers, put them around the circumference of the O-ring and squeeze a little to make them slightly out of round. Then they will stay in the wells for them from friction. Speaking from 20 years experience installing Valkyrie exhausts. To remove the old ones I sharpened a small screwdriver, and come in from the side where the well cutout is. One tap on the end with a small hammer and they pop out.

Thanks for the ideas
I've heard about the exhaust studs breaking
Do you think penetrating oil would help
Guess I'm going to home depot next
