Looks like an opportunity. On their website they only list a system  for cb500. Presumably no good for a 550 k1 ?

Interesting  reading some of Ian McDonald's (ex-Motad) FB comments and he  used to contribute on this forum. They were producing a staggering number of exhausts in their heyday.

Not really followed the Busso story on FB much but gather there have been lots of discussions. Were they not up to scratch/bad delivery or just overshadowed when DelKevic (i.e Derek and Kevin of DK Motors) started producing.

Interested to see how the Delkevic ones pan out long term. (just of passing interest as I won't need to buy any).

Would be interested in the MoldLab (ItalianMob  ;D) tank trims for the 500/4. Has anyone fitted any yet?

I just found out that they were doing Kwak Z650B1 replicas .. now that would have been interesting.

I've got an Italian Mold Lab kit sitting on the shelf here Ash, I'm intending fitting it to my 500K1, just haven't got around to it yet, it's on the list of things for me to do 🙄🙄🙄. It looks a great kit and those I know that have fitted it are very happy with it.

I had a feeling this was on the cards. I sent an email a couple of weeks ago and didn't even get their automated replay.
I am down about £910 as I have been waiting 11 months for CB500 pipes. I did pay on credit, we'll see.
I did nearly jump an buy the delkevic set when it was £950, but now I'll have to pay £1100.
