To fit the special exhaust to a standard frame, you have two choices (both hard). You can cut the mufflers loose from the collector, realign the muffler so it's straight then reweld, OR modify the standard frame to accept the special muffler/footpeg brackets. You'll also have to convert to the special rear brake pedal set-up (more welding). The brackets DO NOT interchange between frames, as the mounting holes are in different places, plus the special has the brake pedal pivot on the frame, not the bracket.
The first option will be the easier of the two....Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

Thanks Steve, There is a set on ebay, says kerker then he says they are bub headers, sent him an email asking what they came off of, he said a special, looks like they are going to go higher than what i want to pay any way, but the muffler clamps on to the colector, could be rotated to fit i would think then reweld the bracket maybe, oh well someone on here may want them.Originally posted by crazy steve View Post1979 xs1100 f

If you're talking aftermarket exhaust, that's a different kettle of fish...
Most (if not all) aftermarket exhaust will have enough 'adjustment' that you can fit them to either frame. As is typical of 'universal fit', they don't quite fit either really well..
