MOTAD ON FORUM

[Trigger]

That's not different. Steph has a set which were a one off.
But, i would say Ian that a lot of people are having exhausts shipped from the states. As Norniron was just one of many.

[Rozabikes Tim]

Ditto on "different" pipes. Lots of people doing cafe racers now. Good business?? Would be good to have a quality name like Motad we all know and trust, doing such work...

[JustcallmeMrT]

I'd definitely be interested in something other than the standard style - will be keeping my eyes on what you could do for the 550F.

CB750F1 and F2 down pipes would be a great idea, I was lucky enough to find a new Honda set for my F1 but with an F2 to do next some help would be appreciated, I do have a new Motad and  a new Alpha system in the loft but that standard look appeals to me.

I have a slightly oddball question, on 3 of my spare exhausts for the cb500 / 550 the 4 into 1 collector has rotted whilst the downpipes are still in good order, silencers are still ok. This is true of all my 4 into 1 systems, not just motad, not having a go. Where you could help is could motad make the collector section as a repair piece for owners to weld into place? If so at roughly what cost? Currently I gas weld them up as neatly as possible but it could be done neater with an all new section rather than patchwork.

Welcome Ian...Nice to see Motad represented on here, my favourite exhaust maker!  owned a couple of motad systems love em, have been faultless, and appreciated your assistance with a minor alteration to a system I picked up on ebay! very quick service to change the diameter of a down pipe for me.

  are these the pipes are you talking about trigg? do you know what make they are? i had them with a cb750 i bought years ago ?

[hairygit]

I think he was reffering to Steph550, one of our female members, she knew someone who made her an exact replica of the standard 4 into 1 for her 550F2 in stainless. Whoever did make them did a cracking job, but she hasn't been on here for some time.

Whoa!! lets not  do a bikepusher on him mate    Agree with you on double skinning but don't know the manufacturing technique. Used to use double-skinning as a comeback on all my Brit riding mates at school/uni who used to call my bikes JapCrap

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

Yeah all my mates said jap crap too but that is one of the reasons I HATED BRIT CRAP.From new as I did the frackin pipes went blue b4 the oil light went off shit in my books.
Sorry if it upsets you but I for one will never buy crap that goes blue in less time that it takes me to smoke a fag.

On the other hand most of my budget commuter bikes have wound up with motad systems, often oem no longer available. Few alternatives. I have only had one motad system rot out, in over 10 years of running some pretty rough old bikes in all weathers and with a habbit of buying used systems off ebay. I have yet to see a motad downpipe that is badly corroded. The coulor change actually looks quite good. The prices are probably what has kept me biking for so long. In fact I only did the car test aged 31, up til then it has been bikes all year round and motad exhausts have been dead handy for keeping my bikes on the road. Goes blue quick, lasts a very long time - sounds a reasonable compramise.

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

Yeah you have some good pointers but like I have all ways said if you make some replacements put some effort in to it do it right or dont do it.Sorry I have no time for that will do merchants
Quick bucks and you lot suck it
