I've been to see Exhaust Craft in Whitehaven Cumbria. Really nice bloke, can talk for England.
He makes well made exhaust systems in stainless, but is very restricted in what he'll make, wants an engine and frame to use as a jig. He wouldn't make me a bespoke system for one of my bikes without.
Defo need your bike to make sure the exhaust is truly jigged up to your machine for bespoke system, what design are you looking for?, upswept pipes like Moto GP bikes. Have a look at cyclex website, they make several type systems and are made for the CB

It depends upon the number of bends, 4:2, 4:1, material you want it made from, number of cans etc. Hand made cans in S/s is usually approx £300. Full systems bespoke one offs, Can be upwards of £500 for basic system

Look at the engine number make sure it is correct for bike. Buy the best bike you can afford they aint cheap to restore .And make sure you like cleaning and polishing.
Can vouch for that, cheap it is not for parts, but very enjoyable to work on.

Hi mate, seen loads in USA sites, mainly joker machine, or dcc etc, you could try flebay .com and see what results there are. How about small fire extinguisher and cut it to suit, old type style. Never seen one of them on a bike.

Welcome, new here also. Mate of mine had 1000rr, took it out for a blast and by god it was the most thrilling ride ever just so light and flickable. Had rsv 1000 at the time and was glad to get back on it, the rr felt really small compared to it. Nice bike tho.

Thanks, Will try using from iMac, tomorrow. Had my mate round today to start mapping out the new loom, it's custom made for slimness and update electrics, but I am also adding in separate starter switch, either push button or toggle type. It just takes time between family stuff and work commitments, hope to have a runner by end of Jan or mid Feb, hopefully.
I chopped for the reason I wanted it to be my own special, love the sound of these bikes when I was growing up, nothing like it sounds the same to me. Loud and brash shorty cone will be fitted soon once all the small jobs have been done and carbs synced. Can't wait.

Hello all,
Based in Scottish highlands, been a bike owner most of my life, inbetween stages of family life and too many points. Any how's have cb750 k7 or k8, it's a 77 year and uk bike.
Owned for about 18 months, but only working on it for the last 10 months or so. It's was a complete bike when brought but in non-running engine and in standard detail, been slightly refurbished in its life time and change of colour somewhere but rattle can job and touch up on frame. Will post pictures if I can in its current stage and provide more details when time occurs. Tried attaching pic but won't let me from iPad. It's inbetween brat/cafe and bobber like style, engine completely striped and new parts where needed and up grades of valves, guides, ported, seals, bearings and crank reground and bearings., frame chopped and hoop welded in, seat made, drop bars, new loom which is being fitted now, c5 ignition, tank sanded to metal and clear coated. Lots done.
Thanks
Mag1
