Yes Dave, early=H1 through H1C. Late=H1D on. As you probably know, Denco chambers fit only early H1s, and to use them on late H1s you had to add some links to the hangers to extend them. I prefer to make them fit the different models without having to add links.

Jim, the rear links on my H2 pipes likely saved them from any damage, as they simply "pivoted" at the link when the rear of the RH pipe(s) were hit from behind (don't ask... :oops: ), and this allowed the headpipes to just pop out of the cylinder flanges and only stretch those 4 springs. So those links provided some give in this instance.

It's not that simple, unfortunately. I went to 1-1/4" wide hangers for the ones with rubber mounts to they'd fit. What chambers are you trying to rubber mount?

Very nice indeed !!!!

Is there any reason that they could not be polished if one desired ??

Sorry I missed your post until now, Johnny. They will take a polish nicely, being 304 stainless.

Just to be clear, I didn't make the ones in Dave's photo.

Yes, I expect to have H2 Denco reproductions sometime after the Deals Gap meet, in both carbon steel and stainless.
