Not normally a big fan of the big 6 but this one is something else.

Agreed Mick. I think the CBX does "specials" really well. 6 pipes looks a bit incongruous though, I reckon a 6-1 modern can thingy would look better on that bike.

How about 3-6 as on this Triumph Rocket 3 in our RAT club?

Hmm Steve you've got me thinking I have a few spare pipes laying around.   ;)

Those are from Campbell Custom Exhausts in Kent.

I had a 3-1-2 on my Tiger 1050 for a while:

I was thinking more along the lines of 6 hm300's  ;D

It would have to be 8 HM300's, 6 would just look wrong (Well, like a Benelli, and we all know they're wrong, they're Italian!) It would have to be 4 into 8 as the triumph Steve posted had 3 into 6

I don't have that many 300's so a couple will have to be 341's
Nothing wrong with Italian bikes I own 2 and we all know they have been  :-X

Thing is these days with modern bikes the exhaust is a bit of toblerone sticking out from underneath somewhere. It should be a thing of beauty - properly out there.

The K7 bandit for example, a notable exception:

And that CBX needs a monoshock rear end. It's a special but not really...
