...He also makes them for the RH...

A system that'll fit the RH will also fit any "Special" and the XJ1100 too...  That's worth knowing...

If you're desperate, I have a Motad 4:1 for sale here

It'll cost a fair bit to pack and ship it though....

Hi I'm new to the site and I need an exhaust system for my build. If I can't find a good four into two I will have to go a Four into one from the states. Did you get them made of lucky to find a good second hand system

Here's my version of a composite tool -


Not as brutal as brett's device


But damned handy at work. As well as the shifter end, it's got a philllips screwdriver, flat edge screwdriver, plain knife, and a saw tooth blade with a handy nail file on the back of it. Too small for the axle nuts unfortunately, but I use proper tools for them.
Can't remember where I got it from, but I've had it kicking around for years. Oh, and it's factory made like this.

Yeah Jonezy, I think I bought a couple of bikes from them a few years ago to restore.

That exhaust looks beautiful!! Congrats on your purchase. I wish I could afford a set or three.
 Now maybe you want to paint it with BBQ heat paint and wrap them too. Then paint on a couple of believable rust spots and maybe a few holes.  :D :o ;D At least that way no one will want to steal them right out from under you while you are riding.
As for the wrench and hammer, I am actually surprised that no one has come up with one for the market. I know loads of people who would buy it as their only tool.  :o

That's very reassuring. Paul. Have you got some stainless rods for your welder? (you didn't mention that)
