Pudzrx Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Been looking through all of the aircooled pics to see a stock katana with a pro v&h exhaust. Can't find one , but wanna know if it will fit with stock footrest and brake lever. I have figured out all of the other obvious pitfalls , so just an answer or a pic would be most appreciated Pudzrx Quote Link to comment
no class Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I had one on my kat 30 years ago and I seem to recal the brake pedal needed to be adjusted higher ..... footrest passed . the only pain was having to lift your foot off the pedal in order to brake . 1 Quote Link to comment

rich46 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I gave up on finding a proper exhaust system for our twin race bikes (only GS11E's GSV11) but here in Dummy California it's become hard to get afternarket systems especially race ones. I ended up having some mates in the UK point me towards a small firm called RaceFit. Jon is going to build me a system based on a mock-up motorbike and my racer's pictures. This way the bits that have been handmade and fitted to these motorbikes will clear everything and still have full range of adjustment. He does build systems for all the Pro's who sometimes race vintage bikes and want them to run correctly. Anyway just a thought if you need something special. Cheers ! Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I had a V&H Pro pipe on the Purple Kat for a while but it had Slingshot rearsets fitted - I might have a pic, i'll look later! Quote Link to comment

Here you go! Whoops - I did have a V&H on there but upgraded to a Star Racing Spyder Pro Pipe - same sort of mounting though! 2 Quote Link to comment
Niloc Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Pudzrx, from memory you need to file a bit off the brake lever and make a mount point. Pretty simple. But the pipes do tend to rust. Quote Link to comment

Would really like some Japanese ti porn on there , but I would have to sell one of my livers (c) homer Simpson . Pudzrx Edited October 28, 2020 by Pudzrx Quote Link to comment
Jonny Bravo Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Have you tried motoGP Werks ? or are you fixed on side pipes? http://www.motogpwerks.com/shop/exhausts.html 1 Quote Link to comment

RGSX Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Ripple Rock Racers has a Hindle Stainless steel 4-2-1 for a Kat https://www.ripplerockracers.com/product/suzuki-katana-gs1100-hindle-stainless-steel-exhaust-systems-to-fit-1982/ Quote Link to comment
Isleoman Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I like how that 4:2:1 Hindle is relatively flat under the belly. From a looks and long term ownership perspective I'd have to vote for the stainless steel MotoGP Werks. Closest to the old school Yosh can shape.

RGSX Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 RRR/Hindle has options for mufflers or buy without and put on your own. My 1150efe 4-2-1 from RRR has worked well for me. But I do miss the centre stand. Quote Link to comment
Pudzrx Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Thanks for all of the replies and views on different systems, but I am really after that defining pic of a stock katana with a v&h pro system fitted. Cheers pudzrx Quote Link to comment
Askamaskinservice Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Like this, but it's not a Kat, it's the evil stepbrother...... Here is some Katana with V&H street system. I hope it is some kind of help. Quote Link to comment
slayer61 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not a Kat, (obviously) but Motogpwerks pipe Quote Link to comment

The guy wants a Pro Pipe ie. a V&H Drag Racing type megaphone ! ! ! I can post up loads of pic's of the right pipe but fitted to EFE's - so that would be pointless! Quote Link to comment
Pudzrx Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Lol , the pics of the 1100e with a pro pipe and the kats with street pipes at least show the run of the pro pipe on a kat tho Quote Link to comment
RGSX Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 aren't all V&H 4 into 1 ? More torque with 4-2-1 I guess it's like pods vs airbox. Quote Link to comment
