Send a NOTE to DELKEVIC
« on: May 09, 2024, 10:47:20 AM »
Having seen the 4-4 pipes on Denward’s latest cb550 project, I sent a note to Delkevic. I told them I’d order a set immediately, if they started producing 1969-76 Honda cb750 pipes (4-4, original pattern). Maybe if we ALL did the same? It only takes a minute!

HM300 or Yamiya No number style (if they differ) will fit well, stock and modified ;D
I have no need to order though.

PeWe…… Delkevic’s pricing seems pretty fair. $999 for the 550!

Delkevick is a great company. We have bought 4 exhaust systems from them. 3 plain stainless steel and 1 black ceramic coated system. The stainless 4 into 1 system is still $387 with free shipping.
We've had two issues, one was a weak spot weld on the nut that holds the baffle in. They sent a complete new baffle in two days for free and said keep the old one. I'll be able fix the old still unused one.
The other issue was our fault. We ordered a system for the 77' KZ 1000LTD. The system came but there was no center stand stop. Then we realised that the LTD model didn't come with a center stand so the system doesn't come with one. Delkevick sent the part for free right away. 8)

A quality company with excellent customer service.

Good to hear, doesn't remind me of Busso.

If people are writing couldn't hurt to mention 350F systems too!

if you own a Z1900 they make a stock 4 into 4 for those. Typically I buy sets from Doremi or PMC out of Japan which are going for 1300-1400 average but I saw a sale from Delkivic for there pipes for 1100. They look well made so excited to mount them on my project bike. I have a 4 into 1 system on mu GS1100 Suzuki but I think they are just a tad loud for my taste. Im sure they would sell a bunch of CB750 pipes if they were to start producing them.

I’m convinced they would! Send them a note.

The only problem is that they are not doubled skinned like the originals and as such the headers quickly discolour.
