Well, bless me father, for I have sinned. I have fitted Delkevics' to my newly restored Kettle. They do sound "poppy/pingy" at idle but sound great when under load. I can't remember what proper Kettle exhausts sound like so will look forward to being able to attend an event in the near future to compare.Kev

Kev,

Ooh, it'll be interesting if you could at some point soon make a recording of the sounds and upload to Youtube. Bet you're happy with the look of them as well, if you've struggled to get an original set look decent.

Cheers,
Mike

Kev,glad to hear that you are happy with your pipes.To me it's a no brainer,when you compare the problems of sourcing a set of good original,and getting them re-chromed,and then hoping that the internals have not been damaged beyond repair by old age and neglect.Don't get me wrong I'm lucky enough to have a perfect set of original pipes in the attic,carefully wrapped up,but have no problems riding my bike in all weathers,with a set of Delkevic's on.

Ride on and enjoy, regards,John.

Kev,

Its all this new fangled 'tech' they say. I was very tired the other day and my wife, who is up on this tech stuff said 'you can get a nap for that'.

Boom boom!

Hi,it would be nice if Delkevic started selling baffles separately,the Suzuki price is outrageous at $104 dollars each for the inner ones !!!! I suppose I should consider myself lucky that it broke in half "outside" the pipe 8-)

My missus keeps going on about "'And Droyd". Why she can't use a dishwasher, and why she says it in a Brummie accent is beyond me.

Lucky you John! I have got a set of original pipes that only need re-chroming. I will get around to it one day but I'm happy with the Delly's so far. I guess I need to put a lot more miles on the clock before I really have a view.Kev
