TBH Dave, I'm only selling it due to lack of work recently thanks to the so called "credit crunch", (I'm in removals).It took me ages to get hold of one and I'd be looking for a fair bit more for it. I've also got the stock stainless system below. I'm just waiting for someone to get back about it and I'm looking for about £90. Post to Canada is a bit extreme price wise, the Kerker wouldn't be too bad as it's about half the weight and comes apart so takes up less space but the stock one would be a bit prohibitive me thinks

[Drewski]

Just realised - there's a good chance your bike will have the different hanger. I've heard of people converting it and I have a spare pair of Japanese model hangers - not sure how straight forward it is.

thanks again drewski...yes,the shipping would be alot..the cb1 was only imported to canada  in 89 and 90..not alot of parts around..I;ll keep the kerker in mind.[what are you looking to get for it ?]like you.I;,m on a budget..thanks again..dave

[Drewski]

Honestly, if your on a budget, forget about the Kerker. They were about £650 GBP in the UK when made, maybe even a bit more. From what I can make out, you can't get them any more unless you order one specificaly which takes ages and is expensive. I got this one cheap from Japan but it was pure fluke and took a lot of tracking down. TBH, I'd rather use it than let it go cheap, it's a bit like selling my left arm if you know what I mean. I stuck it on eBay last week with a high start price because part of me didn't want to sell it.

If he's not I may be interested, what condition is it in (any gravel rash, scratches, dents)? also believe the baffle is still mild steel so is there evidence of any rust, if so how severe? In fact any chance of pics?

I assume that although the Jap and US hangers are different in appearance that the postitioning is the same in terms of the exhaust mount bracket.

Oh and most important, how much are you looking for it?

[MintyFRESH]

Im looking for £80 and will accept no less as I consider it a fair price.  I'll get some pics done for you tonight and post them up.  There is rust on the baffle but the metal is sound and fully intact.   Pictures to follow.

[Chris4564]

Price sounds OK assuming condition is good, look forward to pics. Is it in Cambridge or Weymouth? (thinking of post vs collection)

[Chris4564]

Minty - forgot about this do you still have the exhaust available?

[MintyFRESH]

Hi Chris - really sorry but it's not for sale anymore.  I had to put it on the bike to get it though it's MOT!  It wouldnt pass with the Kerker on so i now have to keep it just for that purpose every year! 

[Chris4564]

NP, thanks for letting me know!

If anyone else has a stainless exhaust sytem (OEM or aftermarket) available for sale please let me know.

Thanks
