Cycle Magazine compares aftermarket pipes for the CB750..
« on: December 10, 2015, 06:57:47 PM »
....in May of 1972. :)   

Cycle Magazine article comparing Jardine, Triple A, Action Fours, Race Crafters, and Dunstall pipes.
Four or five guys out in the parking lot making some real science! ;D
The best part is the photos of the bike laying on its side on the pavement. ::)

I recently paid $250 (free shipping) for a NOS Jardine 4 into 2 system. I thought I was getting a screaming deal.
What am I doing and why am I doing it? Those are excellent questions.
