Best exhaust for the 1000
Currently have Eagle 4-1 on my Katana but feel its a bit long for the bike.
Wanted something shorter, not higher really and wondered what exhausts people rate for the 1000 and why?

Re: Best exhaust for the 1000
Can you not shorten the existing can??
This is on my EFE but like these older style cans personally

If money was no option then I’d have a Racefit Legend Ti or the Yoshimura hand bent cyclone but I’d have to sell a kidney

Think the going rate for that Yoshi pipe is two kidneys

Re: Best exhaust for the 1000
back in the day harris sold pipes in three finishes, chrome, black chrome or plain painted steel. most people opted for chrome which was ok on the original harris made pipes but quality went south fast on the norman hyde made ones. i cant imagine there are any plain steel ones still out there and ive never seen a black chrome one since the 1990's so its probable that if youve a black chrome one, its a rare survivor, but it was a finish available from harris.Blix wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 8:17 am“Oh what a luverly ‘arris”
Think I got it from H in another shady motorway services meet n greet.
It is a nice little end can unit but I reckon that one must have been re-chromed at some point as I haven’t seen another one in that dark chrome.
Do Norman Hyde not still make them under the Harris name?
