The hangers were sent with the pipes. I bent them up to fit where I wanted the tips to sit.

These are the pipes on my '77 RD400.

I can not say how well they sound or perform yet. I'm close to firing it off for the first time. Its a fresh stock crank with a over boar stock top end. I'll try to get some video of them soon.

I did just get some pipes.
Back story. I've been researching here and other sites about pipes from all around the that are available. Randomly I was on FB/MP and saw a listing for 2T pipes made to order, $300 shipped! Fake, fake, fake. But I contacted him and asked all the questions anyone would. He replied back with clear english and said he makes pipes for big companies in Japan and Europe but makes them for custom applications too. He showed me his listingsand posts on other 2T sites. I did more investigating just on that. Seemed legit enough to send him the funds via PayPal. That way I had some kind of recourse. He confirmed payment and went right to work. He showed me photos of the process and the boxed package with all the correct info including his. I got a notice from DHL for a Tariff of $37. I paid that and with in 7 days I got my nice beautiful pipes! Most of the cones are fusion welded and you can see every spot he did add filler rod. I'd say that these are quality made. No theres no dyno chart for them. Yes the fit my '77 RD400 w/o the center stand. The hanger mounts were not fitted when I got the pipes. I fit them and welded the hangers on.
I'll post some photos asap.

I too have the HarborMart cycle lift with the good upgraded front wheel chock. Yes the foot pump is annoying but it works. I wonder if the air/hydro cylinder works for it?

Jim if you wanted to look and try mine, your more than welcome to.
