Stainless Downpipes

Post by jeznewsome » Tue May 28, 2019 5:58 am

Looking for options to get a set of Stainless downpipes for my 1100, in order to fit a 'replica' Harris end can.

I know that there are some specialists that would fabricate some but are there any suppliers with 'off the shelf' downpipes that will fit a katana?

It appears that Delkevic do a GS1000 set: https://delkevic.co.uk/downpipes/Suzuki/GS1000/1980/

Will these fit? Or are there other bikes systems that fit?

TIA

OK, just come off the phone from a helpful chap at Delkevic. He said that outlet pipes OD are 63-64mm which suits their silencers (and not the Harris rep that I was looking at fitting).

Also the GS1000 downpipe would fit but people that have done that have had 'grounding' problems.

They do have a Katana 1100 system in development that will be offered with either their Classic Straight or Megaphone silencer around the £320 ish mark he reckoned. Available in 6-8 weeks.

So looks like my search continues........anyone any leads or potential suppliers of a bespoke set of headers (there is a chap in Whitehaven I think - Exhaust Craft. Anyone any knowledge or experience of their work?

The Eagle Mach 7 I have on my 1100 is stainless, but whether they would sell just the downpipes I don't know. They won't be cheap though as they seemed to have shot up in price since I bought mine. I could get the OD for you if required.

I wasn't aware of the brand at all before you mentioned it. They do indeed appear to be expensive.

An OD wouldn't hurt as an indicator but don't sweat it. Thanks.

Been on the phone to Dave at Exhaust Craft in Whitehaven this afternoon. I'll be getting him to make me up a Harris rep in Stainless as soon as I have some spare cash available. Interesting chap to talk to.

I'll drop some photos once it's done.
