Topic: Akrapovic shorty can on a 78 CB 750 K 8 ..

[IndianRider]

hello all ..

i am glad to announce that my winter project is almost completed and my cb750 k8 is now road worthy .. 

just got done installing the cb750F stock headers i got from ebay this week without the exhaust and boy it sounds MEAN .. even the dogs on the street were running away when i opened it up ..     my stock 4 into 4 exhasut had some small holes and the mufflers were rattling so needed a decent exhaust system ..  the 4 into 1 is a bit more responsive if u ask me but it might just be psychological .. 

i was wondering how an akra slip on can like the one below would look on the 750 k8 .. what do you all think ?    i must be dreaming as this was supposed to be a budget project .. am pretty sure a mordern sport bike muffler would work just fine  ..

Akra makes about the finest system I've seen. I've mounted about a dozen and they are perfect...always. Go for it though it will not be cheap.

i was kidding about the akra .. would love to see how one would sound though .. 

im thinking of adapting my buddys stock 1986 kawasaki concours muffler which is 1 3/4 inch in diameter so i need an exhaust adaptor to make up for outlet size difference .. it might look ugly though but atleast it will muffle the loud sound ..

Scan Ebay or a Kerker. You will often find an older Kerker that could be fit and look the era.

That Akra is the "megaphone" version... they are quite loud.  Bring earplugs

I've actually drawn up/cut out templates to fabricate a little shorty like that akra.  Before that, I even tried making a little can for my buddy bike (still is only tack welded together.)  The thing about those shorty's is that alot of times, people are running premufflers before the short megaphone goes on.  I would assume this is to help with noise, but dunno.  Maybe i could scan some of my exhaust sketches onto my comp. and post them here.

I mounted a D&D can on my 77F, it kinda fits with my whole bike, but Hindle has just come out with some megaphone slash cut style cans for there GP bike look that would probably look really sweet as well, I bet that Akra would look sweet but spendy!!

dang .. this would have been a nice muffler to slip on .. its for a KZ 550 and sold for $75 on ebay  .. it had a 2 inch inner diameter .. an exhaust adaptor would have allowed this one to fit the headers ..
