Yosh pipes (or a damn good facsimile) are still available in Japan...but they are very pricey.

as much demand as there is for them here youd think they would build a $500-600 version to get some money rolling into the market,oh well!
i can buy turbos cheaper than the japanese version of that header are selling for! :woohoo:

I'm trying to get some more pics of the mounting bracket and collector area and a few measurements. It does seem to bend a little sharply away from the head, staying pretty close to the front of the case. Unfortunately, the only side picture I have is shown and the angle of the bike on the side stand is different than the angle of the bike with the Yosh pipe. I'll post more pics as soon as I can.

It would be great if they reman a version to compete with Kerker. I'd rather have a Yosh than Kerker IMO. Check out this thread from last year ( kzrider.com/forum/2-engine/364179-macyoshimura-exhaust-systems ). I'm thinking about giving them a call soon to see what the status is. Maybe if we all call in at some point in the next week or two, they'd realize the market for such a pipe is there!

Pops Yosh was pretty proud of his stuff.Chances are there is a Yosh name in English/Japanese somewhere on the pipe if its his.bj

The Z1 has a "Hand Bent" head pipe and the other if it is a Yosh has a "Production" pipe.

I just noticed this bike has an "aftermarket" swingarm. The passenger footpegs/muffler hanger brackets are sawed off; hence the awkward muffler mounting bracket.

Got some pics. No measurements though.

Looks like the bracket was definitely fabbed up.

What say ye?
