Black Widow exhaust?

[beardo]

Anyone here have any firsthand experience with this company. Looks to be UK based. Stainless pipes, priced really well considering.

They are (asian made?) close copies of Akrapovic systems. Good quality for the money

That's what worries me. The quality. Cheap price is great...until the unit falls apart going down the road.

They are a good exhaust system

I previously raced in the Classic Suzuki Blandit Challenge, black widow were a series sponsor and most bikes ran their systems,well made,decent power and robust even when crashed plus not too expensive either.Most bikes produced an arm wrenching 70+bhp  when running the full system with no other mods other than jetting.I think they’re made in Cambridgeshire Uk unless they’ve moved production overseas.I’ve run a black widow system and Delkevic both made in Blighty

Well that sets my mind at ease. Slowly making a list. Slowly.

Blackwidow on their website only says that their R&D is based in UK, doesn't state where production is.

It's a stainless system with bolt on flanges, not much there to fail

You would be surprised, having had come from another two-wheeled world. It developed a deep-seated paranoia....cha cha cha....

Had one on my bmw f800gsa, very good quality, light weight and quiet with the baffle in , as good a quality as Laser,  Remus , Mivv , Leo Vinci that I have owned in the past.

 

Also had a set of their downpipes on a Kawasaki Versys 650 and again they were very good

Yes but them bikes are known to self undo any and all parts  more than the old Brit bikes leaked oil 

[beardo]

You aren't wrong, that's for sure! Haha

Both delkevic & black widow are made in the far East. 

[Simbec1863]

Stoke and Cambridge via the Far East somewhere still good quality I remember when we referred to stuff as Jap crap.

I’ve got pipes on my smoker made in Thailand also top quality I guess it’s all in the design,manufacturing and quality assurance processes these companies use
