Universal exhausts, suitable for cafe racer?? Advice needed

Post by Flatline »

Some of you know that I am building a cafe racer from my 92 750ss

http://www.haymouth.co.uk/phpBB3/viewto ... ilit=750ss

I have been thinking about exhaust and like the look of several of the universal exhausts that are for sale

The following MAY NOT be the ones I buy

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190631549019? ... 1746wt_698

Forget about what they look like, or any fitting or quality issues, what problems would I encounter?

At the moment I need a cheap set of exhausts to tide me over

Would I lose power or anything?

Regards

I done a xs250 hard tail chopper over the winter sportser tanck ect..now sold it ,I got 2 shorty style chromed from ebay for £100 sounded realy nice ,not sure if the storm would be to big for them ,they also had removable baffles :wink: for mot time 8)

I paid a little more and got bevaled edges they are on ebay some where

The cafe racer style looks great with white exhaust wrap ,little tip :thumbup: if you use any soak it in water and wrap from the cans back dont start from the headers to the cans :wink:

Thanks Marra

May take you up on that although they are just a stop gap at the moment

It s more about whether they will cause problems with the performance of the Ducati or not

Speak soon buddy
