350F exhausts from CMS, DSS & AC-Motorradteile (Germany)
JamesH:
Sorry roy tiny tim got mine I'm afraid....
Tiny Tim:
Wow, that's shocking Roy.
Hope you get a decent set of replacements from them.
How's it going with the 350 apart from that?
AshimotoK0:
What a bummer Roy. Are they made in Japan and double skinned headers? We are so lucky with the Yamiya CB750 ones being double skinned as I gather the Kawasaki Z1 Doremi ones are only single skin.
Let us know how you get on with CMS on returns.
UK Pete:
I am shocked that in this day and age such bad workmanship is slipping the net

Had a good look over them and the standard is dreadful. Double skinned Ash, crikey there barely single skinned. The tubes are necked down on the bends, the polishings not done on the difficult bits before chroming, the welds where the pipes meet the silencer are bird s**t. The four pictures don't do justice to just how truly awful these things are. They are just scrap, I'd rather have a 4 into 1 than this.
I missed a second set of NOS pipes just after James sold his (Tim you lucky lucky person) so I ordered some from DSS. They were just the same as the CMS ones so DSS (top guys)ended up pulling the entire stock off the shelves. I notice their back again though, maybe I will give them a ring and see if they found some good ones. Emailed a guy In the States that has some on eBay, he wasn't happy to find he was selling the same junk. All the secondhand pipes that have been on eBay for the past 2 months are just rotted out junk as well.
Am a bit disillusioned now as after the 750F2 , where I discovered exhausts were non existant, I was going to do a 400/4. But as exhausts were readily available I preferred the 350/4. It's beginning to look like I going to end up with a concourse bike with a 4 into1. Waste of money I think. I already have a concourse 750 with an aftermarket exhaust but at least it was designed with a 4 into 1.
Just feel like shutting the garage door and giving up. Although I probably wont.
