He makes well made exhaust systems in stainless, but is very restricted in what he'll make, wants an engine and frame to use as a jig. He wouldn't make me a bespoke system for one of my bikes without.

Defo need your bike to make sure the exhaust is truly jigged up to your machine for bespoke system, what design are you looking for?, upswept pipes like Moto GP bikes. Have a look at cyclex website, they make several type systems and are made for the CB

Without a doubt, I said I could leave my bike but he wanted only a frame and engine, empty of internals preferably, because he puts the frame and engine in a jig that he can spin about for access (see his pics), hence the low weight of an empty engine. Personally I don't like his work as the resulting system does not hug the bike very well, he showed me examples of his work which had gaps between the bike and exhaust too big for my tastes, some to the point that leaning over would cause touch down easily. (I'm a spirted rider ::)) And I'm just a fussy sod.

He does some Piper, Harris and Alpha copies that look really good, his quality is second to none. Good luck to him.

Post by: Seabeowner on February 11, 2017, 10:00:01 AM: Been looking at the Dekelvic silencer like the one on the 350 to solve my problem to use get the standard header pipes back on my 550F. It has a Motad on ATM. The 550F standard silencer input is something like 60mm dia. and I think the Dekelvic is maybe approaching that.
