Is that a YOSHIMURA domestic market "JAPAN" 2 stroke end can and pipe?.. I have only viewed one set of expansion chambers from Yoshimura for a 2 stroke, years ago and they sold on E-bay for like 2k. I didn't even know they did 2 stroke exhausts, if that is in fact what it is, as of late there into the 4 stroke scene...but if that's a real YOSHI "JAPAN badged' end can...that's kinda cool :smt023

The pipe is stock just the silencer is Yoshimura .......

I like the old USA ..... just received it and this one is going on the bike.....

Although I have Jolly moto & Jim Lomas exhausts , I'd love to try some DG's or Toomey's exhausts on my RZ's ......

Also more parts came in to solve the IT puzzle ......

As ever, Petros doesnt mess about... In a blink of an eye the bike will be done... and high quality too. Why don't you come here on holiday Petros? Arron, Jason and I will host you a week each. In that time we each get a bike built and you get to enjoy the Aussie weather... (which is now getting colder, sigh) LOL
