I know this post is somewhat old, but I too am currently looking for a really good quality 4-2-1 or 4-1.  Anyone know anything good or bad about Cycle-X's 4-2-1 system?  Any other systems you'd suggest I look at instead?  I know some Macs have fitting issues... Kerker sounds like a decent pipe.

I too am in the market for an exhaust. Does this work with the center stand? Any that definitely don't? I don't mind if I have to do a little fab to make it work like make a stop or something, but nothing major.

I've got a 750F1 BTW.

Have you seen their new 4-1 Sidewinder exhaust? If i were in the market i'd look at this...





I live about 45 minutes away from their shop and visited them in the fall... wow do they have impressive stuff in their shop.

Is it just the angle this picture was taken at or do they expect you to remove the pipes to change your oil filter?

That is a pretty sweet looking set of pipes though.

I think it's just the angle of the picture. If you look close you can see the oil filter bolt and it looks like it's accessible and clears the exhaust. Once the bolt is out the filter housing just drops straight down anyway.

that sidewinder pipe has been around for a while, its nice but i think its designed to go in a straight line (minimal ground clearance on the r/h side)
  that is the stainless muffler that i was talking about in my previous post
