Hello,
Just joined the forum.
I have a 1982 XV920R (US model), which has been off the road for 25 years.
Finally getting around to putting it together again.

Have all the parts except I have somehow lost the front exhaust header pipe.

The original part number for 1981 - 1983 bikes is 4X7-14621.
For 1984 and on bike the number is part 1RV-14621.

Are they interchangeable ? They look similar.
4X7-14621 is impossible to find. Will 1RV-14621 fit a 1982 bike ?

Has anyone here fitted a Mac 2 into 1 header and manage to retain the centre stand ?

Thanks for any info.

Thank you Anja,

So the two parts are the same - 14621, and only the prefix is different.
I was worried that the cylinder head had been changed from 1984 onwards, and the newer pipe wouldn't fit my 1982 bike.

Think I have found a later pipe for sale.

Thanks.

I'm getting parts diagrams from https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xv920r-virago-1982-c-usa_model8891/partslist/

Exhaust is at https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xv920r-virago-1982-c-usa_model8891/partslist/B-06.html

The pipe I need is 4X7 1462100, and hard to find.

I do hope 1RV-14621 will fit because I've just ordered one from someone on eBay.

My next problem will be joining it to the rear cylinder pipe and fitting some nice silencers.

Just found this image.

Looks like the original part number was superseded by 1RV-14621.
So the one I've just ordered should fit.

Hello Odradek,
you are right, looks really nice.

Can you give me some more details about?

Perhaps a Contact address? or a Live Sound file to get an impression?

I am looking for a replacement for my Exhaust System. I would prefere a double Exhaust System, but it is hard to find one. So your presented images are some kind of advertise me.

The pic shows my bike, for illustration.

With kind refards
Anja
