So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

damn, sounds good!  but carpys sounds just as good for $1000 less!  granted it doesn't look nearly as good...

for that kind of money, i'd rather have a Benjie 4-4, and it's still a tad less and fully customizable

That is a very nice looking system but then again it better be for $1558.00, no returns and you still should get it ceramic coated! I think I would rather get 4 to 6 Mac systems and just deal with them!

I paid less than that for my stainless and repackable Benji 4 into 4.

If I wanted a 4 into 1 I would either go with Carpy or YAMIYA.

carpy over yamiya all the way.  i'd rather have smooth bends than chopped together sections.  just my opinion though

i have a carpy and i can't decide if i wanna keep it and rock that, or if i wanna sell it (for a slight loss) and wait for colin's 4-4...  maybe a swarbrick too

I like my RC. Has a good sound, looks good, could probably use a repack though. Dont make them anymore, but I think its similar to a Vance & Hines.

im probably a year away from new exhaust, really like the MAC 4 into 1 exhaust look, how does it sound or how would it sound on a 550? and....i would have to adjust the carbs putting a new exhaust system on right? this summer im gonna enjoy new tires, fork seals, and cleaned carbs, but next winter may be engine work and new exhaust.

Kerker still exists as a sub-brand of SuperTrapp. ST bot Kerker in 1991 to eliminate the competition.

http://www.supertrapp.com/company/history.asp

I haven't searched the catalog lately, but they may have shrunk the offerings with the Kerker label on them.

PS: Just looked thru catalog. Kerker brand offerings severly limited, but... CB750K 69-78 still listed, chrome for $779.
