I wondered if anyone knew who made HIGH mount mid-pipes for the SH? I Just bought my SH (my second one) and when I had my first one I had some custom high mid pipes made for it. It put the pipes about .5-1" beneath the tail section. I really liked the look but i can not get in touch with the guy who made my others years ago.
Bike now has "high" mount jardine round blk cans on it. Want to use the same cans just looking for some midpipes. Any ideas?
thanks.

ps - i did a search and could not find much...

my mid pipes got tarnished quick i would be interested in a pair of new ones too as well

With some work you can get the Jardines really high as well. I flipped the hangers on the muffler and swapped sides with the other hangers on my old exhaust. You could also make, (or have made), some custom hangers to bring them up. The only draw back is it brings the pipe closer to your feet.

size 13...cant afford anymore foot room loss

Just buy heat shields, $15 at Dennis Kirk.

guess i could but dont they stick out a little bit as well? giving me just that much less space?

if they arent too bad it would be nice to stop gettin glued to the mid pipes

They only stick out maybe a 1/4 inch or so, and then you can just rest your foot right on them without worrying about melting your boots!

Two Brother's Racing mid high pipes work and have room for size 12 boots. And if you're heel does hit, there's a little metal loop for exhaust springs that keeps your boot off the exhaust.

It is only a matter of hangers? I could fab something that would work but what about the midpipes? just losen things up a bit wiggle the cans into place?
With my old set up I actually Cut a small slit in the undertail section (stock and trimmed) and attached the hangers directly to the subframe. I thought i was only able to do this b/c of the custom midpipes. To be fair, I have only had the bike about 1 week and have not not reallyu investigated.

who makes the coolest heat shield? CF maybe?

Yep, that's all I did with mine, no bending or reshaping required. As far as the shields, look around there's a ton of them ranging in price from $15 for chrome or hundreds for some cf and many inbetween.
