Post by: bomber on July 02, 2013, 10:44:31 PM: 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?

Post by: bruceybigguns on July 03, 2013, 09:02:18 AM: 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.

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?

Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on July 07, 2013, 12:15:36 PM: 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
Title: Re: yoshimura cb550 exhaust
Post by: tom400f on July 07, 2013, 12:36:18 PM: 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.

Post by: Bryanj on July 07, 2013, 01:10:31 PM: From the MOT point of the following are two of the failure points

2. A silencer that is in such a condition or is of such a type that the noise emitted is clearly in excess of that which would be produced by a similar machine fitted with a standard silencer in average condition.
3. A silencer marked ‘NOT FOR ROAD USE’, ‘TRACK USE ONLY’ or similar words

Post by: cb750stu on July 17, 2013, 03:50:31 PM: I got the exhaust direct from Carpy I've bought loads of stuff from him and always had good service !!!!

Post by: Dangerousdave999 on November 06, 2014, 01:21:33 PM: Got the MotoGPWerks 4 into 1 a couple of months ago! Fantastic sound, pops and crackles. Very high quality and definitely worth the expense.
