Cycle Works - where have they gone?

**Dean Chamberlain** · 29th August 2011, 07:49

Hi there,

I went to visit Cycle Works in Lower Hutt Wellington on Saturday and they have closed? I spoke to a guy further down the road at the lawn mower repair shop. He told me that they are now based in a shed on the owners property. Does anyone have contact details etc? I want a 4 into 1 exhaust for my bike and I have been told these guys are great.

Thanks in advance.

Dean

Back in the bad old days of his slash cut 4-1's...they were total shit and made far less HP than the std exhaust system.

And I'm sure his later works got far better too! Gotta start somewhere.

Back in the bad old days of slash cut 4-1s, replacing rusted out factory pipes cost more than the bikes were worth, this would have been the main driver for purchasing a locally made system.

Anyway did anyone ever do a back-to-back dyno test on a bike with standard pipes and then a CW4-1?

Still got one of his pipes on the GS1100, but with a far quieter muffler.

I agree 100%. They were an awesome option for saving money. And yes...I've seen a GSX1100SZ on our Dyno with both. I admire what he did with his business.
