I like it a lot!
How about making it to order in UK?
If I had cash I would ask this guys http://www.co-built.net/#!about

Co built are top blokes, Geoff's day job is making exhaust pipes for F1...

Just thought about it, it certainly will be cheaper to buy it form usa...

Have you seen this links?

As pops stopped making them many years ago and they are now more or less made to order i think that is about it mate, Plus they are noisy enough to wake the dead

Is there any other exhaust that looks as clean as this but not so pricey? If anyone has any links it would be appreciated. The noise is what I like about it!

Bry, have watched those links now, making me consider bighting the bullet and getting one shipped over!

Cheers,
Bruce.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

Have a look at this 8)
http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/cb_500_k1_k2/72-73/picture/marving_racing_4_1_complete_system_-_chrome/
Does anyone have one of these? I am considering one - questions would be 1) is it street legal and 2) what carb changes might be advisable?

The word "racing" in the description might be a bit of a giveaway...

Mind you, most of us have "race" cans on our modern bikes. Some are stamped, some aren't.

The Sidewinder exhaust on my Tiger is stamped but only on the ends of the baffles - and I've taken them out  ;D

Yes, well, they do have "on-road" and "racing" (had not escaped my notice... :-) ) Anyway, as they don't say I'm sure its not

Stamped you say. So there is a definition of what is legal and what is not. Didn't know that.

From http://www.bmf.co.uk/pages/bmf_main_pages.php?main_page_id=156
Silencers All replacement silencers/exhausts must, for road use, be marked as follows: EU e mark or UNECE E mark e.g. e11 or E11 and an approval number e.g. 007 or BS AU 193/T2 or BS AU 193a:1990/T2 or BS AU 193a 1990/T3 or an international mark that is equivalent to BS or Pre 1985 MC Only. If marked NOT FOR ROAD USE it is not road-legal.
