I was looking at the Japanese Yamiya web site and saw something interesting. Under the muffler section they have a 4 to 1 set called MO11. Does any one know if this is a Yoshimura replica? I sent them an inquiry to see if they had more pics of it, or pics of the system on a bike. Does any one know anything about this?

No idea but I do know that Yamiya make the best stuff (or use the best stuff if they dont make it themselves - these guys are fanatical about CB750s). If you look at a previous post of mine about Nagoya, Japan you will see some photos of their shop when I went there in 2006.

Good luck,
Andy

I asked Yamiya a while ago if they are Yosh pipes.
Nope.
But its a nice-looking pipe all the same.

Rhonda750F · « **Reply #6 on:** March 23, 2007, 08:47:34 AM »

If I get something back from them, I'll post it here but It looks a reasonable deal. $350 for the pipes and around 200 for shipping. about $550 bucks for a set of pipes straight from the motherland.
The megaphone from my kerker system is beat and a new exhaust for the rebuild sounds really tempting!
I want to be the first kid on the block (maybe continent) to have one of these baby's

I have a friend with the yoshi pipe, and this looks nothing like it.

Rhonda750F · « **Reply #8 on:** April 05, 2007, 11:47:44 AM »

The folks at Yamiya just sent me more pics of the pipes.

downside looks to be you can't repack that muffler. Bummer.

kghost · « **Reply #10 on:** April 05, 2007, 12:48:08 PM »

Thats a gorgeous pipe.

Bodi · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2007, 12:49:29 PM »

The picture of the outlet shows what could be a large circlip holding the baffle plate in, so maybe you can repack it.

Sweet!!! A very nice looking set of pipes. I wonder what they sound like...

Andoo is right. I have an original NOS Yoshi exhaust. The Yoshi has a removable tail pipe that begins at the end of the four-tube collector and has a bolt-secured baffle. The bends downstream of the collector are smooth, not angular welds and there is a rear supporting tab that bolts to the CB750 frame.

I was hoping that the Yamiya exhaust was an exact duplicate, because I've had difficulties finding anyone who would do a limited run of my exhaust design without a major setup charge. Looks like my search is on again.

Thanks for posting the pics, Rhonda. It just so happens that today I also got in a number of photos from Yamiya.

I do think, though, that this looks like a totally acceptable exhaust for the money. $400 USD delivered is cheap for a new well-made midweight exhaust that will perform strongly across the mid and upper rev range, unlike the heavy and beautiful, but anemic, Kerker. RR

I to have an original Yosh exhaust but on my 78 GS 2 valve Suzuki (race version)
I was quoted about 1800.00 to have a copy of mine made
so it is very expensive (10 years ago too)

that Yamiya is a Sweet pipe though
and even if its not meant to be re-buildable
I am sure you can cut the end off and make it re-buildable

thanks for the web site

A cleaned up pictrue of the business end
it does look like it can be re-built

I wanna see a picture of the chromed version and hear it also.

AR-Guy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2007, 04:04:33 PM »

Has anyone ordered from these folks before? If so what is your feed back on getting what you order and time in that arriving?

thanks,
Buck

Jinxracing · « **Reply #18 on:** April 06, 2007, 04:56:09 PM »

I'm interested in one of these too...maybe they'd give us a group rate if we bought a bunch of 'em.

AR-Guy · « **Reply #19 on:** April 06, 2007, 05:34:50 PM »

I would be in for a group deal....

Buck

count me in too if you guys can rally a group together for a discounted buy.
i've been desperate for a yosh repro as well - this is damn close enough.

Yamiya are very good people and ship fast - my past experience 2 days from Japan. Ive been to the shop and chatted with them - they are the real deal. I wouldnt count on a group discount though -they have a big enough market in Japan. Who knows though, you could try.

cheers
Andy

yoomit · « **Reply #22 on:** April 07, 2007, 08:50:20 AM »

doesn't appear to be any mounting flanges around the muffler.
i wonder if these have to be custom-mounted - e.g., welded flanges?

Geeto67 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 07, 2007, 01:44:38 PM »

It looks a lot like the RC Engineering Pipe I have. Maybe not upswept as much but the RC pipe is a drag pipe and not a road race pipe (unless you jack up the rear an inch).
