The normal RAASK pipes are nice looking. Those swept back look like harley crash bars.

swept back pipes what good are they?the sharp bend out of the head = less hp

 

[longjohns]

i have the jenks one and i will be throwing them on when i get home. if there is a huge noticeable decrease in performance they will come off. i dont care too much about hp numbers as long as the bike doesnt run like total shit.

Actually, those pipes are modelled off of the old race replicas. Euro style. Its not about the bend, its about the restictions. Even With baffles in, those will allow more fuel to air ratio than any stock crap ever will. Without, It will eat pigeons. So dont talk to me about bends. mmmkay.wned:

Have a look at the Jenks bolts web site they have taken over Mototwin and sell the swept back headers

Indeed they have and the lack of balance pipe costs about 10bhp, so I'm told. They are working on a cross over or balance pipe.

I'll let you know what effect they have - I just fitted some and am about to go out for a ride. Lol

Swept back exhaust headers definatly lose power in the upper rev range, could not guess how much but you can notice it so 5 maybe 8bhp, power difference lower down is not noticable, the more solid thud bellowing from the rear is more enjoyable.
At the moment I will be leaving then on, it is differcult to use the upper rev range to a large extent in Australia - Too much bacon about. Lol

 

[rodburner]

but you can notice it so 5 maybe 8bhp

I understand you can get back 3 to 5 of those HP by replacing your chain.:chair:
