Steve,
Regarding the 509 Speed Triple header, here is what I know (I haven't tried it on the bike yet). I got the tip from a shop who had fitted one to a Sprint, so it actually will fit. You need the T509 Speed Triple header with the ROUND ports. The 955 stuff has oval ports. Holding it up under the bike it looks like a great fit. As it routes under the bike, it makes a nice little swoop around the oil filter cover and pops out on the right roughly where the stocker does. I have a suspicion that a Sprint ST can might work but there are none in Lincoln NE that I know of for me to borrow so I am looking at fitting a GSXR can (good volume, light, fairly cheap) and taking it to a muffler shop to get an intermediate pipe made. One down side is that with the stock left can gone the center stand has nothing to rest against so a bracket will need to be fabricated also.
This whole project is probably barely worth in performance gains but I like the 3 to 1 look, I want more sound, I'll hopefully drop 10 lbs off the back of the bike, and since my original header has a ding in it I figured why not?
