Attempted to obtain good shaped used one - no response. Did the home work and learnt the pipe are unique but can be purchased:
specs:
outside diameter: 1 3/4"
curve: 180 deg.
centre line radius mandrel bend: 6
thickness gauge: 16
Lordco sells mandrel (curve is not crushed but the same dia.) Part # 42381. J shaped header pipes priced at $24 CND in stock that fit. Thought I had to go thru a specialty pipe bend company - didn't. Suspect the same thing applies to the RZ. Photo's attached. Welding next.

Re: New head pipe(s) replacements
Good score. FWIW You can also tweak curved pipe like that 'back a bit' if needed using a socket the size of the pipe in a vice and some heat in the area you want to 'straighten' by simply lifting the other end. Ive done that before to good effect.
