Title: Reproduction exhaust pipes from Niche Cycle
Post by: Dvsrd on May 21, 2022, 07:17:23 PM
I just came across these on eBay:

As my OEM pipes look rather shabby, I am tempted to buy a pair of these. Do any of you have any experience with these headpipes?

Nope.
But I'll bet they are thinner than stock and have a crappy chrome quality.
You probably are better off get some better shape used or paying to get your old one ones rechromed.
But hey, I could be totally wrong.

I agree with soonerbillz.  I'm guessing they aren't made in Japan and probably do not have the same quality as the originals.

They're expensive but I'd bet they are of decent quality. Let's face it, how much repop stuff is as good of quality as original?

yeah in my experience there's a 70-ish percent chance it ever shows up and no recourse if an issue comes up.  .02

the niche cycle ones are probably cheaper than a re-chrome.
