That shop's in Japan I think, and yes you can get those pipes, swingarm, alloy tank etc, etc.

but they're not cheap.

I just looked at the price on those pipes, not sure if this is for stainless steel or titanium, but...

399,000.00 Japanese Yen = 4,347.59 U.S. Dollars

I'll stick with my Kerker.

Their alloy tank....199,000.00 Japanese Yen = 2,168.11 U.S. Dollars

Their swingarm......157,500.00 Japanese Yen = 1,715.78 U.S. Dollars

oh my.

So, Pasty.  You want K pipes for your F?

[super pasty white guy]

I know, I know.  For the first time, I have K envy.

Actually, right now I'm having stainless steel pipe envy since my 4 year old new pipes are starting to rust.... grrrrr.

Gee, I think for the prices of those three parts you could buy a good
running bike. No thanks.
Couldn't you get the OEM Honda pipes cheaper?

I've said it before.. I really dislike that bike, I think it looks awful.

Pipes are nice, but hm300 NOS are less money.

Hell, for 4 grand or whatever, ANY reasonable, and good, fabricator could make you a couple sets of those in steel.

I seem to remember those pictured being Ti, though. Could be wrong.

Completely agreed

The tires are way too small in proportion to the bike.

[Alan F.]

Too bad there aren't any videos of it being ridden hard, it would be nice to see what a talented rider could do with it.

The tires are way too small in proportion to the bike.

   I think the tires and wheels are 17", they just altered the stance a lot.  Looks like longer fork tubes, and if those are the model of Ohlins in the rear that I think they are, those are about an inch and a half taller than stock.  So they modded the rear shock placement so the rear end wouldn't be too jacked up, though the rear is still a bit high.  Little supermoto looking.
   
   Looks like they lifted the whole thing 2 or 3 inches to give the pipes clearance.  They basically had to concede the build to fit the pipes.  End result is it doesn't "flow" well and something strikes you and everyone else as off.

[Inigo Montoya]

yeah if they had used a 77K, it would have been much better!

That makes at least two of us. And for those yen/dollars....I wish I had a bongful of stuff that good they're smoking.

[Retro Rocket]

The tires are way too small in proportion to the bike.

I have seen plenty of Honda's with 16 inch rear wheels that looked good {not for me though}, its the height in the suspension that makes it look awkward. Those wheels are 17's,i am using 17's on mine but it will sit a lot better than that bike. 1700 dollars for a swing arm, i could have a pile of them made for that money....

That bike is beautiful.

You 2 would get along great!

[mcuozzo]

That bike is not my cup o' tea.  The pipes are nice but for that money I'd get these for all three of my bikes ($1200 a set)....
