I think you can get them cheaper from motobins. http://www.motobins.co.uk/bmw-parts....20valve%20Twin I don't know why they are cheaper from England but they are.

That's where I got my exhaust for my R100GS and I live a few miles away from Bob's.

If you decide to keep your existing pipes and want to replace the crossover, here is a note supplied by inmate xactley on the Tips and Trick thread:

I replaced the cross over pipe on my R75/5 with a $10 plumbing extension pipe found in the under-sink aisle.
They are 12 inches long, brass inside, chrome outside, 1 1/4 inches in diameter..
I ground the threaded section off of both ends of the extension, never-seized the header and slid them on.
Slide it on further than the original, right up to the welds.
No clamps needed.
