Jemco in the US & Zenshin in Japan make GT550 3-into-1s.

Think it have to be Higgspeed seperate expansions.can wait til spring.the 550 running fine but 2 pipes have loose baffle plates and although ive managed to jam them straight at mo it wont last

Senicoli on Kettle Clinic forum. Lives near Kellingley, Yorkshire and might have some done.

New battery fitted & a new addition to the workshop.sold my VFR750mk1 & bought a 650 plodder SLR Honda.basic but good for sit up beg riding for an older rider like me !

They look good. Am wondering how they perform.

Wont do much for performance but will sound great just like a Piper in 77 however top end will be killed midrange may improve a fraction.had them on my 750 & 380.not as though its used for thrashing about like we did 45 yrs ago.my ign switch on the blink.may need to fit another.something to look forward to.have put contact cleaner in as a temp measure in hope it will last a while longer.
