Anyone know where to find online where I may purchase a 4-1 Yoshimura Exhaust for a cb750?

Is there anything 'like' the Yoshimura Exhaust, that people prefer or is a little more cheaper?

Thanks

JAG

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

Their UK distributor is www.singlestosuperbikes.co.uk

Yoshimura made 2 types, hand-bent and machine-made. The hand-bents had very sexy continuous-curved header pipes and are kinda cobby-looking. Pops himself made very few of these, extremely rare. Heres a pic of my hand-bent Yosh pipe. Sounds totally sick is an understatement. Wish I knew somebody to reproduce it.

That pipe is begging to be ceramic coated. I can hear it telling me that from here.

Its off the bike and getting ceramic coated this week. Satin black ceramic (or should I go polished aluminum finish?)

Black would look fantastic!

Is the muffler on the pipe? You should post pics of the before/after coating.

w/o a baffle this pipe makes the SCARIEST DEEP BELLOW IMAGINABLE but everytime I run it like that on street, its definately a ticket-magnet.

I was going to get one through carpy. He was charging $1000 usd for it, I wanted to do some shopping around and try and find them myself..

Thanks for the help, I shot an e-mail to singles to superbikes, and I requested a catalog from the other site..

Thanks guys.

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.

Heres my full race system that I have had for over 20 years on my GS and a
competition baffle

There must be more surviving 750/4s in the world than Z1s (surely)

There must be a market...

mkramer1121 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2008, 09:54:18 am »

All I'm saying is I contacted them and they no longer produce them, stopped making them a few years ago...

736cc · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2008, 11:00:11 am »

Who can reproduce my pipe?

754 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2008, 11:18:31 am »

Try to figure out the bend radius. I suspect most headers started out as a hand bent prototype before thety went to mass production... so you should be able to make them.

Looks like there is a G-note of saving in it for you if you pull it off!!

+1 and then its custom

Could you go to your local muffler shop? Maybe they'd be able to customize something for you.

Carpy gets them somehow.. They are on all of his bikes. I love the look of them. The end of it kind of sneaks out past the foot peg.

I have never really been a big fan of the megaphones. But to each his own, right?!

This pic has one of them on there.. That's also the style I am trying to go for.. I wander how hard it would be to make you own knee inserts into the gas tank?? Any thoughts on that?

mkramer1121 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 19, 2008, 03:35:15 pm »

They look like the replica ones I was talking about, see here (Yamiya doesn't show them on their English site anymore):

JAG · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2008, 03:50:56 pm »

That's definitely them! It showed a picture of it. I can't get the download right on the Japanese translation thing.. How much do they run, shipping and all?

mkramer1121 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2008, 03:54:31 pm »

They are $350 plus shipping (probably ~$50). They have an English site, yamiya750e.com, but they weren't listed on there today when I looked. They also have chrome ones. Maybe contact them through their English site.

They are manufactured by KSY out of Japan, see link here:

Well then I wonder why I was going to be charged $1000 for them.. Is there something different that I just don't know about???
