Vance and Hines exhaust future

it's been recently upgraded with a set polished vintage Marzocchi's

Whoa.... Sweet pipe!

Ok, went to that site and I don't see that Yoshi pipe...
Then again, I don't read friggin Japanese! :laugh:

Jeff, have those made indeed! Damn that's nice... :whistle:

that young man is the holy grail of 70s early 80s kawasaki and suzuki headers!

Well you old fart, you like fabricating, make me some!
I don't care if their chromed or not.... :laugh:

That is just such a killer line on those pipes.

And you're once again correct, GregZ bike is freaking beautiful! I'm not worthy!

V&H is a T-shirt company that whored-out to the (formerly) all-mighty dollar. I too have a couple of examples of their crap rusting away storage shed...

my opinion: V&H = pure crap.

Daaaaaaaayuuuuuum! Sweet everything on that one!

:woohoo:

I like my V and H, looks good, sounds good and makes good power,the chrome isnt the greatest, but for the money I was well impressed.


I used to like the Harris 4 into 1 back in the day though and when I come to change it I will be talking to this guy:-

Cos stainless is painless:)

Vance and Hines is an okay pipe in my book, not the greatest but certanly not the worst. The best is probally yoshimura or kerker, and the worst being a Mac, witch is what was on my bike when i bought it. I have a 4 into 1 vance and hines on my 650 with a competition baffle and the fiberglass removed, was running one on my z1 this year, but that is getting replaced by a 4 into 1 vance and hines sidewinder sportsman pipe after the rebuild.

Fortunately that won't happen with a stainless system This is the V&H pipe I have on my GPz 1100, I'm loving it.:

I still like the 4-2 idea. If possible to get one like the KZ650B-c models had, not the short, lower mount CSR style pipes. Personally I like the dual pipes for the symmetry, though I can understand why some like the look of the 4-1. Bear in mind these are the same guys dating girls that look like a Picasso.
