I have a slightly oddball question, on 3 of my spare exhausts for the cb500 / 550 the 4 into 1 collector has rotted whilst the downpipes are still in good order, silencers are still ok. This is true of all my 4 into 1 systems, not just motad, not having a go. Where you could help is could motad make the collector section as a repair piece for owners to weld into place? If so at roughly what cost? Currently I gas weld them up as neatly as possible but it could be done neater with an all new section rather than patchwork.
Something better looking than your current generic silencer for the CB750 F1/F2 would be great. Something with removable baffles maybe, so we can make them a little less restrictive, without drilling holes in the end of the current silencers to stop them stangling the top end power:))Sent from my GT-S5839i using Tapatalk 2

There must be an opportunity though for a decent looking 4-1 system for the 750. everything I've seen to date just looks a bit bland..?up for doing something different- with so many people restoring them to original (and then not riding them as they have spent so much money- I regret selling that mint k2 for £330 all those years ago! )- I am up for suggestions. Only downside is that any "proper" system needs perhaps 40-50 hours of work on development and preparation for manufacture so we need to sell around 20 to cover these costsany chance of replica CB500-4 ,HM 323 pipes? I am sure there may be a reasonable market.hopefully -))))

look I can only comment about motard back in the 70s I indeed fitted one to my k2 and had no problem fitted good sounded OK but it was the only alternative available at the time.Do not get offended but then as they were known as moturd as at 150 quid a go frackin cheap then but still a fortune compaired to Honda pipes.Listen I will only say this once double skin them so they do not go blue and you will have a new client are you listening?#CheersBitsa
Possibly there is an internal problem on the silencer I have then, power seems strangled at high revs, struggles to get to 105, put the standard exhaust back on and it is rapid to 120!Sent from my GT-S5839i using Tapatalk 2
I went to your web site some time ago and asked about just a silencer for a CBX550 that already has a Motad but was told not available. has this changed?
Ian, I think the attached Honda Service bulletin serves to prove your point !And see my earlier post of the 750K7 system I had !! Amazing that it survived like it did (Attachment Link) Cheers ...Ash
Good replys ian, what are your views on making 4-1 pipes yoshi style , i know you say that they restrict power at a certain rev , but the guys who sell them sell loads even from the other side of the pond , so there is a market for that stylepete

The basic issue is that with so little volume in this design you have a choice between mega noisy or no power if legal (ish!) added to this the short secondary measurements tends to stuff the midrange power, this makes it tough as many owners feel the small "kick" as power comes back from below stock and assume that this is a power gain rather than just recovering from a lossbottom line is that we are 24 people whose food bill is paid by you guys buying exhausts- and I would prefer that you bought UK produced stuff rather than far eastern imports (even the usa stuff is often Chinese or Mexican produced)don't want to turn a good forum into a market place- email me on ianmcdonald@motad.co.uk and we can discuss options
