    Hey fella I bought my bike with one fitted and rode with it for 3,000 miles. I loved the look of it and the sound was proper menacing and a bit of a roar.

    The downsides- it stained my swing arm yellow, it was a shout of a sound not at all tuneful, it's riveted together and mine was certainly not stainless steel, it was drastically down on power to the Yoshi which was noticeable instantly when swapped, it's too loud for track days.

    But it does give the bike a lovely smooth look with the lines, very clean....

    Li like the clean look of them although in some ways I think they are too hidden, I think if they had a stainless rolled tip it coul look even better.
    Shame about the quality issues I have heard so much about though

    I love the looks and from what I've heard they sounds great but 99% if people I know who have had them said they rust and is very poor quality. Why I'm going for a Austin racing can fit the road, sounds lively and top quality

    But just my view

    I like them for the look as it really suits the bike but just read to many posts about quality etc etc to commit to buying one

    I still feel the build quality of these exhausts is shoddy and I'm being generous, had it been fabricated with nice tidy folded edges and the return bend had been lobster backed then maybe it would justify its price but looking at that photo the build is a disgrace
