scrambler pipes on a superhawk?

[cafe_crazer]

i was thinking it would look pretty nifty putting some scrambler pipes on my superhawk. is there any reason this wouldn't work? i think the only real problem is finding scrambler pipes in the first place. if anyone is selling or knows where to get a set i would appreciate any info.

cheers.

I had a set on my cafe' CB77 until a few days ago. The only thing you'll need to do is make a braket for rear mount. Try to find CL72 pipes with the baffles in end of pipes.

Anybody ever gone the other way? CB pipes and exhaust on a CL. Just curious.

This mod was 'the done thing' way back in '71. I had a couple of pals (brothers) who owned a CB72 & CB77 respectively; each had the high pipes, but I'm not sure that they were from CLs, as they exited down the r/h/s. No muffler, just mutes in the ends, similar to snuff-or-nots but fluted. I think they were marketed by John Oldfield of Southampton.

I remember the pipes on CL going down the right side in 67. Did it ever happen or am I just remembering wrong. Chico.

I don't know if they fit easy, it would give a CB72 / 77 a nice scrambler look.

From a performance point of view is not and advantage, the bending radius is much smaller then the CB72 / 77 pipe, restricting the gas velocity, and the lenght of the bends are longer, restricting the flow (more resistance).

In other words : performance drops, especialy in higher revs.

Not to mention the key getting VERY hot
