Now that's what a pipe is supposed to look like! As you mentioned, the V&H are pretty much junk and the Kerkers bend so much anymore they look ridiculous. I realize it's so you have filter and drain plug access, but I can't bring myself to spend $600 plus on that just for the name. My brother had an old kerker on his 77 KZ A that was bent like the Yoshi (no drain plug or filter access) and I've been looking for another one for a long time...

i picked this yosh up at a fleamarket in 93. the pipe was originally chrome and had yosh on the can. the owner had dropped his 76kz900 and scuffed the inside bottom of the pipe. i sandblasted it and rattle canned it BBQ black. i give it another coat every time i change the oil.

This is about as close as you can get today, but it'll cost you nearly $1000...

Yeah, and those tailpipes are welded sections, not one-piece bent like the old ones. I think the original Yosh pipes were small diameter, like this replica of the Mad Max "donut" bike (Unless this isn't a Yosh).
