Topic: BCR stainless peashooters,anyone got em???

[bikerbart]

So far,aside from a brand new stock 4-4 exhaust for my 73 cb750 I think Benjies cafe racer stainless peashooters are beautiful,but $800 plus change is up there and you may as well get a set of originals for that money.But they would look awesome on my bike(avatar pic)Does anyone have them and if so,how do they sound,perform?

Bart, go through the Bike of the month threads for last year, you'll find a 500 with 4 into 2s.
You could PM him to find out how they are wearing since he got them.

i dont, wish i had either those or his new 4 into 4. that 4 into 4 is drool inspiring.

[Duke McDukiedook]

It was only DOHC 4 to 4 last time I checked.
He needs to make SOHC 4 to 4, I would get it when I won the lottery.

[bikerbart]

OOOOOO,I didnt know he was making 4-4's.Drool.If only.

 I plan to do my own exhaust with four stock downpipe+ four of these...

yeah bcr stuff is ridic price wise

[bikerbart]

I was thinking the same thing Bert.Very good Idea.

Actually, I don't think it's marked up too much, when you start pricing out 403 Stainless exhaust parts on, say, Cone Engineering. Granted, there is a mark-up to consumer from Cone as well, but all told, when you talk about parts, equipment and labor I seriously doubt there is much more than $100 net profit on any of those BCR set-ups...but, fnord, I could be wrong.

I never said overpriced,just too much for me,I am sure they are worth every penny.

I used those on my wife's cb350k4 and they are very nice. Cheap to, like $60 or each or something.

[Duke McDukiedook]

Yeah, I don't think they (Benji's) are overpriced either, I just can't afford them anytime soon.

[Rich W]

     It's obvious . Benjie's stuff's expensive .  But it's no rip off. It's good stuff.  It's a hand made stainless steel exhaust system for bike that hasn't been made in over 30 yrs .  What do you expect ?  With Yoshi replicas made of mild steel are going for 600$ his stuff doesn't seem so expensive .  Do I wish his stuff was for less ? I'm sure we all do . But I'm sure Benjie's got mouths to feed too and he ain't ( or anyone of us here ) gonna do it for peanuts.

Yes, Benji makes a 4 into 4. And Yes, it is drool worthy... (granted, my bike isn't drool worthy yet, but you get the idea)



It's not bad. 2x the pipes for only 1.5x the money. It's actually a bargain. I got them in the shorty style. I haven't run the bike yet, but if I have luck with the carbs this morning (once I get off the internet), that might change.

It's one of those things where "This-is-what-I-wanted-on-my-bike." I refused to get a MAC. A Kerker was a possibility but I just HATE the way they mount to a SOHC. I was looking at the 4 into 2 peashooters, but I just liked the 4 into 4's better, you know?

I just saw the 4-2 for the CB500 and I that just that "This is what i want on my bike".  I looked everywhere for a good 4-2 but i don't like the megaphone look and I don't want the quiet of the stock pipes.  I want people to know its not your average bike.  If you buy 2 mufflers and then find or make a Y pipe and weld it on there and chrome it then you'll be up in that $800.  I'm expecting by the end of next week I'll have my order in.
