AKRAPOVIC MAKE A SYSTEM!!MUST BE SEEING THINGS
http://www.akrapovic.com/motorcycle-exh ... 44fa0fbcf/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
now i have just been on thier site and found this.unless its something toatally different.i know its for a late cb400 but dont tell me you couldnt make it fit,cus i had cb1 400 dic headers years ago and they worked sweet.
dont know if its the right photo but has anybody even checked to get other shots?
not that its gonna be cheap mind!

I think you will find the outer 2 exhaust ports on the CB400 are angled to miss the frame rails so it won't line up with the NC29 exhaust ports.firebeast wrote:http://www.akrapovic.com/motorcycle-exh ... 44fa0fbcf/

But what about the triarm? thats probably closer to the cb400, and might work. Then again if it as a direct fit then it would be listed as fittingmatt69 wrote: I think you will find the outer 2 exhaust ports on the CB400 are angled to miss the frame rails so it won't line up with the NC29 exhaust ports.

Have a look at some pics of the CB400,I think its completley different.Unless I was looking at the wrong bike.The engine is allmost upright.

I saw it over the snowed in period,emailed them and got all excited.The Google imaged the bike and what I saw was an upright retro type bike.WHY? do a system for that.

Re: AKRAPOVIC MAKE A SYSTEM!!MUST BE SEEING THINGS
parus.if aky do a system they do it very well and probably better made than most,plus its the dogs bo**cks of makers.
you need to find a shot of the head front on to see if its yeah or neh.
i havent looked much yet but there must be loads of stuff in japan with that bike so may still be worth looking.reason for making it must be the amount of demand over japan means its viable for them as they have stopped lots of bigger stuff i assume due to lack of demand,02-03 r1 for instance.nothing on the site.
it'll be interesting to get a definitive answer.or maybe ring the uk importers and see what they say?
