cbr600 exhaust swap

My cousin in Malta has a 400rr fireblade,and it had a Yoshi exaust, i am sure it would work on the CB-1???
I am going to try and get, I have a kinker pipe and it sounds great.

I think that you will find that the 400rr exhaust hits the swing arm of the CB-1 and will need to be modified to fit.

I second what clarkdw says. The reason there is a gull arm on the right side of a 400RR is to clear the exhaust.

I'm tempted to pull my entire exhaust system and have it ceramic coated either satin black to match OEM or chrome silver.

I would love to but a yoshimura can on it, but I don't know how to do this or which one to put as it seems they don't sell anything made for a CB-1 specifically.

I actually bought my '89 with a Yoshimura system on it from a CBR-600, it looks to be about mid 90's or so. I'll post pictures as I get them, it's currently at a different location having a couple gaskets looked at. Makes the bike sound like a 600 or larger, beautiful sound...

Here is a picture of the Yoshimura system on the rear-quarter, and of the right side in entirety. Ignore the seat, needs to be re-covered. >_>

Instead of spending thousands on re-ground cams, worked cylinder head etc, etc, why not just buy one of these:-

because i already have these......

Is it just me, or does that look like a Yosh can on a stock exhaust system???  Many guys with CB-1s usually cut off the stock can, then fit any can, as long as the inlet fits over the mid pipe...

no youre right, that is a stock header.

Maybe to simplify this post, you want the machine to breath as freely as possible. Being in CA, I removed all of the smog equipment (5lbs), removed the airbox and replaced with UNI filter foam filter, rejetted with a stage 1 "Factory" kit, installed a Kerker slip on canister (stock headers are tuned perfect), added a 3 degree timing advance plate and it pulls very hard to redline in every gear.
Also installed a steering damper on the left side which required that I removed that sculpted metal plate thing in front and below the tank. I machined cut outs on the right side plates for more air flow.
It has progressive suspension springs in the forks and a Works Performance rear shock. removed the center stand (8lbs). Running 120/60 Metzler front and 150/60 rear.
It has 32,000 miles of hard sport riding on coastal mountain roads south of San Francisco. Only mechanical part ever replaced was a fuel pump (other than chains, batteries and pads). Running 15/39 sprockets. Does wheelies just fine but I only weigh 130lbs.
Wow, that was fun to write all that down. CB1s are awesome!!
