55-67 Exhaust header on 68 Bay Window

[Ruptured Tortoise]

I'm looking at buying a new exhaust system for my 68 Westy. Problem I'm having is that the parts house is out of the header for the 68-71. They do have the part for a 55-67 with an upright 1600. I'm pretty sure this will fit but not 100% sure. The part numbers are different. Does anyone know if this will work?

It will not fit because it will not clear the mustache bar.

What header/exhaust are you after? There are a lot of vendors out there.

Richparker, this is the system I'm after. I'm tired of rusty bare metal and I dont think the polished silver ceramic coated headers will look right so I'm after the black ceramic.

The problem with BD is they don’t tell you if the items are in stock or not.
