    i am building a 2005 883L to a 1200 sportster with buell thunder heads and hd cams .575 lift. i think it will have aprox 10 to 1 comp, my question is what is a good header for this bike? i like the bub 2 into 1 but it says on the site that it is not for L series bikes. it looks to me like the megaphone might cause lean angle problems, i just dont know how much, 2 3 deg. thanks in advance mofasa.

    All my H/D's as well as my 04 Sportster have Thunder Headers on them, they are loud but I have not found anything better on stock or hot rod motors. Dutch

    i have not done this particular type of project. i have not run megs. on one side of a bike. maybe if you contact the mfg. they may have a bit of insight for you......good luck with your search, and let us know what you decide on!!:)

    Gotta agree with DUTCH,
    I've run a ThunderHeader on all of my H-D's & just put one on my new E-GLIDE.
    The fit & ground clearance are perfect(JMO).Whats more important to you;looks,sound,or performance?
    Two-into-one systems generally offer better performance,however;there are a lot of good systems out there per application.Good luck! 00 wildglide:cool:
