Will exhaust systems swap between 350 and 450 twins?
« on: February 12, 2007, 10:58:18 AM »
I have a CB350 and a CL450. I wish it were the other way, as my plans for the 450 are more along the lines of a cafe racer look, so I'd prefer to have the CB style exhaust on it. Besides the obvious problem with the location of the mounting brackets, are the exhaust ports on the 350 and 450 the same size, so I could swap the pipes from one bike to the other? 

(I don't currently have the bikes stored near each other, or I would just measure them, or give it a try.)

           Cowboy,  To answer your actual question, No the 350 and 450 exhaust won't swap from one to another.

                                                Later on, Bill :) ;)

One half of a CB750 4 into 2 can be made to fit the CB350K. It's a little awkward under the bike but it can be done w/out welding.
Jardine used to make TT pipes for the 350 and 450 but I doubt that they still do? Got my first set of TT pipes for a CB125 for $17 delivered :o
