 I have pics of the 750 version somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

No, they are handmade by a guy that the President of the Benelli Club of Spain uses. He used a CB500 frame/engine for mock up. The pipes are $1250, and shipping was expensive, at ~$200. But they were at more front door in less than three days after making final payment!
 I used a local guy to ceramic coat them. They were sent to me in heat paint. He offers "electrostatic" coating, but says it VERY expensive in Spain.
 They offer SOHC and DOHC CB750 versions as well.

 My actual pipes while under construction

Wow. Those do look nice.
Congrats

Excellent look, Scott. Nice job chasing down the supplier. Given what I went through, you got a very fair price. Congrats!  RR

Well done, great source, and good price. 8)  My Swarbricks for a CB550 by the time they were fitted & coated cost around $1500 Cdn, and didn't have those nice curves. :(

These are the only race-style pipes I've seen with baffles.  The straight pipes will wake a city.

Scott, I'm curious about weight. If by chance you're in contact again would you please ask what the weight is per pipe?

 Some text copied from my build thread:


 * They are LIGHT. Mine are still wrapped in foam and bubble wrap, but taking one header and one muffler and standing on the bathroom scale, they weigh only 5.8 lbs. per pipe! We're talking less than 25 pounds for the whole exhaust system. I do not know what material they are made of.

 * They ARE baffled and the baffles are removable. A quote from our correspondence:  "The megaphones are homologated for a 102 dBA (a Harley is 108 dBA homologated in Spain). Full open is very VERY loud sound! around 140dBA." Obviously, I have not ran them yet.

If he made them from 321 stainless, they would weigh far less!

 More from Enrique:


"All materials and industrial process to build my curved (Pasolini replica) and super-curved (MV- Agusta Magni replica) exhaust are under copyright and I can´t report about.
You can use the main and side stand, original oil filter etc with the exhaust, but you must to prevent what original components you want to respect, when ordering. The exhaust are designed mainly for racing use, so road machines has many components that could be affected by the racing design of the pipes, so I need to know all your sugestions.
The oil filter can be changed easilly, and the headers pipes has enought clearence to get a proper job.
The removable silencers can be graduated to control de noise level. You can do this job in few minutes.
About ceramic coating is a VERY expensive job and very few people can do a REAL job , so I sugest evitate these treatements for a more simple and effective thermic paintwork or thermic electrostatic."

Contrary to what was said above, I can supply CR750 works replica systems if you want something close to the original RSC pipes. The ones I sell are patterned off a genuine works set and are about as close as you can get without period parts prices. You can check out pictures etc by going to www.moonpie.co.uk and heading to the CR750 resource page.... ;)

LMP, just a question to satisfy my curiosity... Why are the CR750 exhaust systems more expensive for a non-UK customer, especially since they would be VAT exempt?

BTW, they ARE beautiful!  RR
