  I didn't dive into the deep end on these yet, I'm just hoping they turn out nice and the market gets stabilized.
   I got a set of Yamiya no no's off of ebay for $1200 once, several sets had just sold. I'm guessing the ebay buyers were satisfied for a few days and I fell into the gap. Later the seller refused other offers at that price.

I’m facing major spinal surgery in the next two weeks and I need the exhaust to get here so I can get them in the house!!!! I emailed Busso and they responded that it was a slow process and there were still over 400 packages for DHL to pick up!!! Just giving an update. I never dreamed it would take this long.

Maybe, if I can get some kind of tracking so I can be ready when they get here, if they ever do.

Hi All,

I ordered and received a 4-4 exhaust for my CB350F1 early this year (ordered in December and delivered about a month and a half later).  My experience with tracking was that there was a delay in communication from the time I got the email from Busso saying that the parcels were being shipped to the time that they were in the possession of DHL.  Everything went smoothly and predictably via tracking updates from DHL once they had the parcels.  The parcels took approximately 1-1/2 to 2 weeks to ship from Italy to Wisconsin including the time they spent in US Customs.  They were delivered on a Sunday.

FYI, my order went out before the CB750 exhausts were shipping.  I suspect that the process on the Busso end of things at this time is much more congested at this time.

Regards,
Brad

I wrote and checked in yesterday, got an automatic reply, but they wrote this morning to say they would send shipping details by next week... three months after the order.

Well, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme nor reason to the shipping order. I placed my order over 7 months ago.

So, the 400 parcels could take as long as 20 trips by the courier
. If he picks up 5 days a week...up to a month to collect them all.
Hope yours ships early in that collection of you are waiting for one...

  • To many bikes-but lookin' for more
So did they come with the heat shields or were they a freebie because of the delay. Any rubber tube joiners and clamps also ?

He said it came with the extra stuff that was promised in the email, I can ask him more tomorrow, didn't unwrap the other 3 pipes, he has 2 original sets of pipes he is going to use on restorations before he puts the busso pipes on anything.

Those pipes look really good!
They will hopefully fit really well too.

This  batch of pipes can have made Busso to get the manufacturing procedures in place. From now just continue to produce for an ok price.

Yamia's expensive shipping policy has made them as a non alternative for most parts.

I got the same email. I also got an email with a tracking number over a month ago but it still hasn't shipped. This is just a stall tactic, IMO. They aren't shipping them on a llama from Cambodia. If the pipes are ready, and the driver can pick up 20-30 a day, that's enough time to ship over 500 sets of pipes. I don't believe for a minute that DHL couldn't send over a bigger truck if someone picked up the phone and made a call. I'd be willing to bet that a large quantity of the pipes still aren't ready. I'm sick and tired of their empty promises. I'd be happier if they just told me they aren't ready and it will take six more months. This fibbing nonsense pisses me off.

About $1100 with shipping. I think the early buyers got them a little cheaper than that.

 $1899 isn't so bad with heat shields and connectors included. I'd expect some quality though. I wonder what's going on in Indonesia that they can't seem to get very many made there? That's where Yamiya's come from.

They are solid pipes. Differences I noticed is they have a much wider spacing at the ends between the mufflers, don’t have the notches to keep the foot pegs in place and no drain holes.
