Exhausts Standard

[XSIIE]

Hi Hen,

I had a staintune 4-2 exhaust on my 78E.  It ran Ok.  Luck passed me by and I ended up with a brand new still in the box exhaust system from Yamaha.  To say that the difference in performance and power was noticable is an understatement.  My bike transformed instantly in terms of smooth power throughout the rev range, was measurably quieter and just sounded better.

I am now trying to track down an original system for my RH.  I think the only place I'm going to find one is in the US.  Thus far nobody has been willing to go through the hassle of boxing up and shipping to Australia for a "reasonable" price.

Good luck with your search.

Eddy.

Some of the US bikes have a longer manifold collar than ours. Just means putting in longer exhaust studs.
Apart from that the same.
Now I am trying to get a bloke from Victoria to chop up one of my old sets and do EXACT copies. He makes them for the CBX Honda so XS should be reasonably easy

Hi all if these standard exhausts are so good and worth the $ . are the USA pipes the same ? if so I will track some down or are they only good if the bike is in  standard condition 
Also great to meet Errol and Steptoe and Bryan at the XS stand at the Laverda show I hope to have my bike there next year.
