Fw: ZZR1200 Header

[Paul S. Elsberry]

Hey Guys,

Below is a question that I asked 1K regarding the fit of a header from the 
ZZR1200 to go onto the GPZ.
I want to keep the dual exhaust, but want to have another option other than 
OEM or an over $1000 for an aftermarket system.
I am planning on a slipon system from D&D.
If you have any info on this being done or known issues on this set up let 
me know.

Thanks

Paul in MD
