Blaster ADA Girdled Head With Riva Red Pipe?

[IWannaYama]

Currently have a B1 with a Riva red pipe, I'd like to order an ADA girdled head soon, if I buy the $30 ADA stock pipe bracket will this combo fit together?

Thanks a lot guys I hope your right. I was actually told by a shop today again that it might not fit? They said that I will need to grind the bracket piece that attaches to the pipe?

It's possible that you have to do some minor grinding on the pipe bracket to enlarge the holes.
You really shouldn't have to, as the ADA bracket is designed to duplicate the exhaust mounting found on a stock head.

Thanks again, are any of you running this combo on your ski?

I run the red lead pipe on both my B1's - one with a Riva girdled head and the other is some funky one piece billet head I had laying around.
Good pipe for the money after you tweak things around with jetting and water routing/restriction.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOUNTING OF THE PIPE !
These things can give you all kinds of headaches if you don't - once the pipe is bolted up to the cylinder you need to shim the pipe to head with washers so you are not binding the assy when you tighten down that head bracket or else the thing will keep coming loose at the 3 bolt flange.
I cut the head off of that demon and had the pipe welded around that flange so the pipe is one piece - There is nothing I cannot do to the motor without removing the pipe and the motor can still be removed with the pipe attached.
