It's my undersatnding of progressive's numbering system that the last two digits are spring diameter(measured in mm.) so I don't think the 11-1126 is gonna work for you.

Are the stock headers really that bad? I've heard you say that a few times. I've got the Vance and Hines supersport system and the headers are nowhere near the front tire, I don't think they stick out any more than FinaLd8ta's.

On mine the second and third tubes are back almost as far back as the first and fourth. You should try to find a used full exhaust. I've seen lots of auctions for the SS2-R new, which is like close to $500, I'd say the headers would be pretty similar to the regular supersport system. You should be able to find a used one for cheap if you wait and watch ebay.
