OK GUYS 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I am working on designing a manifold for the R* that is all metal. I bought a HD manifold on e-bay for $10 and I want a 1700 manifold to tear apart and get the metal flange parts from to use on the HD one. If anyone has a 1700 manifold that is all cracked and not usable I would love to have I will pay postage. What do you guys think?

Curt, I still have the ported one you sent to me. If nobody can come up with a cracked one, you can use this one.

Check to see if any of the flanges from a FI R* will help you I beleive they mount the same way that a HD manifold mounts. I'm not positive but I think the head flanges are the same as on a carbed model.

You might try to get ahold of Gram I think I remember him saying he had some old unusable manifolds laying around.

Fireman I would tear apart a good ported manifold I want an old cracked one that is no good to strip all the rubber off of it and use just the metal flanges. Beside if you don't end up using it you can always sell it to one of the guys here. Dave thanks I never thought of that I will check e-bay. The manifold is a NEW 1600 that I have to port for some one on the clinic.

Curt, I have a used one off my '99 1600 that the PO removed. It's sitting in a box doing me no good. If you can use it, it's yours. ?

I'm hoping to get a 1700 one so I can test on my bike but I can always play around with a 1600 until I get a 1700. I will PM you may mailing address. Thanks!

What is the benefit of an all metal one?

I'd rather have it "sitting" in your garage than mine. Keep looking for the 1700, and this one will be ready for your next project.
