do you mean resistor, not washer?

Yup, that's the thing.

washers, resistors who cares, we've potential Harris Ti full systems to discuss

Thanks for the help so far, I'll endeavour to obtain some pics of them both as I don't think there's a lot more we can do until we have these but feel free to throw info mainly regarding the full system in the ring until then

I am a nerd with a memory like a very old elephant for stuff I have read....and I have never read or heard about any ti Harris pipes being made for the NC.

As previously mentioned the only ti work I recall are the TSR SP1 style pipes like Rhory, vfrman, micpec? and the single can style that Craig/Guess Who has/had!

Would like to see some pics. Which bit is he more sure of anyways - the Ti factor or the Harris factor?

Harris were not really into pipework were they? More like specialist welders and fabricators.

true my TSR's are Ti but there has been romours claire BEET system was Ti as it's bluing up around the joins,i can get pictures of it if needed or i can compare it to your mates simon if you get the pictures

Get a magnet on it Rhory

BEET do make lovely Ti systems, got one on my zxr.. and it does go very blue :) so its possible.

Thanks for all the suggestions but it appears my mate was a little hasty in his assumption of it being a full Ti system as it attracts magnets and has the usual discolouration/surface rust found on stainless systems although the can does look like a proper Harris Ti can and almost identical to one I had on my original 929 Blade

He's now popped it on ebay so please have a look and let me or the seller know if its a decent system.....he's had one tip off already that it may be a Moriwaki system?

That is one strange looking system with a spring joint halfway down the rear down pipes.

It aint a Moriwaki, definitely a lesser known sort. I'm no exhaust expert but i think Moriwaki only made twin stack systems for the nc's.

Must be a mild steel system because stainless aint magnetic (generally) and shouldnt rust in normal usage it does sometimes look rusty. Russ

Very strange looking system - definitely not a Moriwaki! Looks to be mild steel, but it's hard to tell with the hard life UK bikes get :D Your mate may want to keep the rear manifold if he's not sure what exhaust he'll be replacing it with - but I guess that most new systems like Tyga etc are fulls. I prefer proper Jap stuff - hell, it's getting near vintage now! Ahhh, the thrill of the hunt!

I'm 95% sure that Moriwaki do only make twin stacks (still available new from Japan), but I do recall seeing a single once. I had a picture, but can't seem to find it for the life of me!
