Got my Marving fitted.....lovely jubbly

[hampshirehog]

My wife relented and let me get a Marving Race 4-1 after years of asking(note relented means taking her shopping with a free run on the credit card). In my opinion the best pipe around to fit on a GS (also have one fitted to my CB1100F).

Got it fitted today - music to die for.

That is lovely Hamp. How much was it BTW? Wish I could find someone from the UK who was going to visit the States who would bring one over for me.

Russ I got lucky on Ebay for £150 BIN - only done a handful of miles and as good as new plus the seller was only down the road from me.

Exactrep sell them for £295 at the moment (they've come down in price - the Europeans are still up in the mid / high 400 Euro range):

When they were up in the £300 plus bracket I emailed the Marving factory in Italy to see if they would sell direct but they only sell through agents over here. They might sell to the US though. Worth asking:

By the way, the sales stuff says that you lose the centre stand (you don't and I didn't on my CB1100F) and that there is restricted access to the oil filter - slightly true in that it is more restricted than original but there's still plenty of room.

Maybe I'll have to bring me one of those back.... I'd definitely swap my Yoshi for one of those!
Actually I have a pilot mate who could freight it over for me next time he comes this way....

That's a sweet looking exhaust

That's a sweet looking exhaust

PFFT!! Thats a sweet looking bike!

[wkmpt]

It looks like it, but I have to ask, is that a 4-1 with a flat collector instead of the usual 2+2 stacked collector?

Thinking of it as a potential exhaust for my gsxr parts swap project.

Wally,

Is it chrome or stainless?

AFAIK, all of the Marvings are mild steel.... available either with chrome, or black finish. Never heard one yet, but they supposedly sound very nice.

[salty_monk]

In that case..... how does the chrome stand up to the English weather?

Do they do well or like my V&H start to show some small signs of suffering (I live by the sea) after 3 years or so?

very nice pipes for a very nice ride. Can't wait to see/hear the youtube video. This post is just the thing I needed to read. I recently picked up a 78 1000 as a spare and it came with a Marving race exhaust in pretty decent shape. Very stoked now. Have you done anything to the carbs to adjust for the pipes?
