Very nice indeed and I'm sure there's a reason for it (financial is usually always the case) but I'm surprised at least one of these exhaust manufacturers haven't duplicated the curved pipes of the original CB400F for the CB1100. The curved pipes are one of the designs that got me hooked on the standard version of the bike.

Sweet. Bet you can't wait.

I spent hours cleaning snow from my front porch and rear deck yesterday. It was frozen on top and stiff underneath. Had to use my snow shovel to cut it into blocks 18" wide x 12" deep x 8" thick like the eskimos do to make igloos, and remove one block at a time. Going was slow and heavy. C'mon spring!

This is the exhaust I am looking for .... all black ... I am currently trying to understand how the the MotoGear Black Ti Slip On looks like, I am pretty much sold on the Motogear Black Ti Headers .... Is this exhaust listed on his website or a special order ? I am assume it is all steel but no Cat ... ?

Great news! See, that didn't take that long. Haha. I'm sure it felt like an eternity. Now you get to have the fun of tracking it as it makes it way from Japan, through customs and eventually to your doorstep.

Here is the link to Takashi's website for the Nojima.................

Now I'm concerned whether the oil filter can be changed w/o removing the header?????????? Undecided
I didn't think to ask Mr T that question; was more concerned about retaining the centerstand. Oh well, too late to turn back now! Big Grin

Fortunately I don't have the amount of snow and ice that you do, Mickey.
Man, I bet that was a lot of work!
Come on Spring is RIGHT!!! Biker

Thank you for the link .... I am all about weight ... that's why I am leaning towards the Ti Header and my center stand is long time gone ... For service purposes i have a pitbull rear stand. Looking at the pics at samurider, you should not worry about the oilfilter ... looks like plenty of room on the 2nd picture.

And most important to everyone: greetings from sunny and WARM California ...
