No, Carpy's just marking up the price as a retailer.  Or, maybe he has an actual, old Yosh exhaust that he would sell you.

Who can reproduce my pipe?
Go see these guys, maybe they can help ya out
http://www.kookscustomheaders.com/index.php  they are in Bayshore. Sveral of my Drag racing buds use them for their car stuff. Outstanding work, completely custom/one of creations but kinda pricey.

Am I the only onr finding it a bit odd that 20-30 people were making pipes for these between 1970 & 1977.. yet no one seems to be able to make them for 5-700 dollars today..

How much different are the pipes for a 500 from a 750?

What would it take to have a copy of the Yosh made by a local pipe bender/header shop?

 I need a total junk CB750 to use as a "buck" so a local pipe shop can replicate these headers. He needs a rolling CB750. Anybody got a junker to sell on Long Island?

 I'm having several sets of headers made duplicating this pipe by 2 different pro exhaust fabricator shops (price tba). Will have them done in plain steel and maybe stainless steel.  I first need a couple sets of the stock exhaust flanges; anybody have a few sets available 4 sale?

I might be interested.  I also got a set of spigots off a bike somewhere you can "borrow" if you'd like to ship 'em two ways.  Does this sound much better than my RC Eng 4-1?

Your RC will fit your Amen I think.. it is a good pipe.

The Hooker 4-1 we had to add about an inch into every pipe to make it fit.. I think I sold it later to someone who took the inch out again!!

a friend of mine in japan gave me a yoshi catalog as a gift that lists every exhaust they ever made, and has very nice pictures. it's glossy magazine-style bound, and an inch or so thick. i'll see if i can find it and scan the cb750 pictures.

EDIT: i couldn't find the comprehensive yoshi catalog, but found a current one from japan. he gave me a really cool book that lists every japanese motorcycle made from 1947-2007 with lots of pictures. cool stuff.

736, depending on the price, I would love to get a set for my cafe racer!  I have an X-pipe that I was going to use, but the yosh replicas sound interesting. 

Post a pic of what you need, I have the exhaust off my 73 CB 750 hanging in the garage.  I have been looking at the swarbrick exhaust and heard it this weekend (awesome freakin sound), but damn it is stupid expensive, plus you still have a ton of work on your end to install and square up...

Swarbricks cost around 565 pounds at the current conversion rate equals $1112.50 without shipping!?!?!? 

I will pay a decent price, but damn.......

Loving this post fellas..is there any room for another set of 750 exhausts? I am building a new ride and a set of Yosh replicas would look great on it. I will keep checking back.

I just noticed sets of these on this website in the yosh replica exhaust thread that was just started. they are chrome though so some grinding is needed. hope it helps

Yoshi still make exhausts. They are available for big Zeds and are expensive (£560)

Their UK distributor is www.singlestosuperbikes.co.uk

For a 750, I had emailed Yosh Japan and they said they no longer had stock and had stopped manufacturing them as there wasn't a demand for them.
No demand?  BULL!  I'll bet KERKER and MAC are paying Yosh off, kinda like paying farmers not to grow crops.

Yosh replica exhaust anyone?  Like I stated earlier, Yamiya has these and they are mad by a company in Japan.  The only difference would be the 736's would be hand bent and the others would be more like their later model pipes.    I'm pretty sure that 736's will be over $400 shipped.
