GTR down tubes?

[vinny]

Has anyone tried to use GTR1000 down tubes on a ZL 1000?
I have seen some photos on ebay and they look something like - without collector box. Whick i think may be a dood idea - lose 14 lb in weight and have easier access to the underside of the bike. :detective:

Hope someone out there has maybe had a chance to compare the differnt headers over the years.

Sorry Vinny but they just won't fit. Different frame.
There is a viscious sideways bend in the ZL's 1 and 4 downpipes to avoid the frame. On the GTR the frame is well out of the way of the headers, so the pipes all have the same radius at the top.

Thanks for the swift response KK.
I thought someone would have investigated this route before, so I wont have to spend time and money finding some GTR headers - only to find they wre no use.

So I really appreciate your reply and always look here for advice and inspiration !
