If you can live with mild steel most exhaust centres keep lengths of straight pipe you can then cut your own angles and get it mig/tig welded0

Hi Laverdaroo,

Have you tried manufacturers of custom stainless steel exhausts. They are jigged up to produce any bend required. I had one made up for my Rapido/Merc motorhome some years ago, whole thing done and dusted in 3 hrs.

If you know and can specify all the dimensions and angles/draw what you want and email it, you may get a result without taking your bike.

Worth a try and will last. ;)

Had good service from OS Pipes in the Midlands - they made new silencers for my XS850 to a one sided pattern.  Good price & turn round time & didn’t want the bike to fit to.

Laverdaroo:
Game on, thanks for that XS. I've done all the dimms just need someone that can do it. I realise now I should have mocked it up sooner and had a better go at chasing somebody down as now I dont want to be grinding and welding in the shed now the paint is on the bike. Soon as its made I can get the pipes off and ceracoted (past tense of ceracote is?) and she can go away in the hallway for the winter and I can start with my bikes!

I've rang a few custom bods and had a few numbers to call but drawn blanks, hence the call for any ideas.
 Im nearly there but not quite, its been an interesting 10 months and I'll bob a few piccies up.
Thanks all I'll keep you posted,
