Exhaust makers in CH-CH?

[98tls]

Just got a call from a mate wondering if i knew who if anyone makes bike exhausts in ch-ch?"dunno" i said but then i remembered Imdying telling me he has a mate who will make me up a 2/1 for my old girl so asked my mate "what sort of bike"he replied "my father in laws VTX1300 and he wants the whole thing" i was going to ask "why" but refrained and simply asked "you are serious"? he replied "yes" so,can anyone tell me who would make such a thing?In hindsight i guess i should have put this in exhaust segment,mods feel free to move.

He can probably buy one off the shelf that'll cost half the price of a custom one. Or does he have a particular sort of mod in mind? Like zee triple (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdKsToHmNao)... dude turning the throttle in the video is the fella who made the exhaust.

Mate i have no idea what the guys up to VTX1300s are not that far up my "want to mod" list so never asked what it was he was hoping to achieve.Would it even be possible to buy an aftermarket system for one of them?ive no idea but would have to wonder why anyone would bother producing one.Great wee clip,sounds/looks sweet.love to hear it out on the road.

Theres a place out Rangiora. Down Kippenberger ave.(I think) Behind Repco(I think its Repco, not 100% sure. It is a car parts store though.) Across from the Warehouse. I enquired there about a new exhaust system or fixing my current one, it had alot of rust in it. Most helpful. Don't know what their work is like though, that bike was pinched before they could do anything for me.

I had some dual s/steel megaphones made up by them for my VF500, back in '95 or thereabouts. I was very pleased with the work, and it was cheaper than any aftermarket pipes available. Looking at pics on their website, their workmanship has improved in the last 12 years. :niceone:
