4 into 2 system?

(1/10) > >>

Orcade-Ian:
Has there ever been any company making a 4 into 2 system for 550 F?  In the absence of a genuine or reasonable looking silencer, it occurred to me that such a system could improve things cosmetically  - I don't want to go down the 4 into 4 route (would they even fit?) or aftermarket 4 into 1.

Nearest I can think of Ian was the CB650, sure they had the 4 into 2. Don’t know how different they were. Think the 650 was just bored out 550.

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks Johnny,
I didn't think of those - a mate South had one and I think it's still around nearby.  I might be able to persuade him to photograph/measure some details.  Bet they are like rocking horse spit too!  Cracking biking day today!

Think you're right on availability of 4~2 original system, collector section vulnerable on them too on most model.

The Delkevic set for 550 F looks quite good though as seen one on local bike meet. Alignment of course nothing like original in header aesthetic plus straight/level silencer.
Decent value at £350 though for stainless system. 

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The Delkevic systems certainly look good value - they make a 4 into 2 for the 500 as well.
Alan has a Delkevic SS system on his 400 it looks very well finished.

I will be very tempted to put one on my 500 at that price.

Typo I mean 4 into 1 !!
