« on: December 17, 2013, 06:14:31 PM »
Hi All
I am having great difficulty getting an exhaust system for my 1976 F1, I tried Motad, but they no longer make one for this model. Anyone got any suggestions please.

many thanks

Hi John, I have a decent exhaust system for sale, there are photos in the for sale section  ;), it's a very light exhaust system, no rot and looks nice fitted, has a few imperfections but not visible when fitted, I can take more photos if needed  ;) cheers Mick.

Hi
Don't know whether this info is of any use but just reading January 2014 Classic Motorcycle Mechanics (page 97) and there's an advert for Motad saying they are going to make batches of 4 -1 exhausts in stainless for various Jap fours based on the number of customer enquiries they get - don't know whether they've changed policy since you have been in touch? Thought it worth mentioning anyway. Motad number in advert is 01922 714700.

Thanks Phil, I have been in contact with Carpy (USA) and he does a 4 2 1 stainless, and is now making the 4 2 2, but this will be in chrome and ready soon. only issue from the states is the import duty, but he is a nice guy, and a Brit. keep you all informed as to what happens next.
Many thanks again for your help.

Hi Pete, was going to buy today from Carpy`s, (USA) a stainless steel with megaphone type silencer which is similar to the Yoshi system I believe?
