Has anyone ever had the header section of their ty250 replaced and is is there a local supplier of a replacement section. I have been tossing up the idea of fabbing up some replacements. Is there a big enough market out there. Any ideas fellas.

Why not make a couple, using a bike to check they are right, advertise on Ebay and see if there is any interest? If there is then make a 100% accurate pattern and see if you can find someone to make a small batch out of 1.2mm stainless tube?

I don't think that there are commercial local (Aussie) manufacturers but fancy stainless steel headers are available ex the UK.
If you can weld, they are pretty easy to make from pre-formed bends.
I would say that the total (TY250) market is so small, the Aussie dollar is so high and because they are already available off the shelf at a reasonable price, that it would not be worth making them here if your intention was to make a profit.
However if you love that sort of work (like I do) it is definitely worth making them yourself. It is also fun to experiment with different lengths, routes and diameters.
Another thought is that asian-made replacement steel headers are avaliable for common 1970s and 1980s Japanese trail and AG bikes but I have not tried to find one that fits a TY250.
