Looking for a new exhaust for my 1993 850. 2 into 2 system with stubby cans would be ideal. Any one know who sells a complete system ready to fit? I don't want original or Nexus system. They also need to be compatible with side panniers.

I know mate but I couldn't do it in the end. Why buy another bike when I already have one I get on with. I just need a scottoiler, Fenda extender and new exhaust (as I just don't like the Nexus at all) I will then have my perfick bike.

Yep i agree with you and yours is a great example, miss my Bigred i do.... tough choice for a new exhaust, look at MTC, Kelpie has her Remus cans up on ebay if you dont mind used.... you could save a few ££'s.

The plan is to go for a complete system from the same source. That way if I should have no issues with the carb set up and if I do at least I have a guarantee.

How about custom made in Stainless, dont know the cost but may only be the same as off the shelf items !!!

I have to be careful I don't go over the top. Don't want to spend a shed full of money on a bike that wont ever pay it back. Saying that I think I can turn her into a real head turner with out breaking the bank.

.........another one here for OS Stainless........see their site above........the 2 into 1 is mine, the 2 into 2 had belonged to
Roy Osborne - the 'proprietor'.....

Plus? points .....they make 'custom' exhausts, though of course, if they've 'done' one of 'your bikes' before, they can repeat the previous effort. Otherwise Roy is a delight to work with, responding to your design ideas and desired spec., applying his considerable metalworking skills, to fashion the 'system of your dreams'. Very co-operative and concerned to give a great product....
even, in my case, to the point of un-grudgingly modifying the system after the initial version had thrown up a slight glitch.

Minus? points.....they don't / didn't supply an 'off the shelf' system, so, in my experience , you have to engage with the design /
creative process.....it was not instant, but not long-drawn-out either, and was v. enjoyable/satisfying. Not cheap, as I recall, but not money-grabbing either......can't remember how much, but as I recall the same order of price as a Laser Prostock system - the groovy 2into2 at the time. He gave me a quote and stuck to it, even though mods. were required. My perception is that, though a very experienced maker of motorcycle exhausts, he's probably primarily a metalworker, rather than a 'performance oriented engineer' .....so topics such as 'tuned length' and 'back pressure' MAY not be the first to inform the process - but I may be quite wrong, and be doing him an injustice.....

.....depends what you want from the process.......an economical replacement, which looks right to you and seems to be of adequate quality........ a 'name' product, with a reputation you can rely on and which is good for your cred. ............ or a dive into making your machine your own......with all the pleasure and involvement that is implied......

good luck.......Jiff.
