ummm, in search of the holy grail 
When you find it, i hope you find two and share your luck with me
On my first SB6, I took the cans apart and removed most of the restrictive inards, re jetted the carbs and it certainly felt (and sounded) better but I never got around to putting it on the dyno before i sold it.
Total cost?
a couple of hours work |

Bimota used to offer "performance" cans made by Lafranconi. They were no good, just more noise. Japanese Bimota tuner Shin Kondo and his company Moto Corse made both cans and full systems in titanium. The best quality I have ever seen, but the price was about £3000 for the full system. If your SB6 is an early version it is the exhaust pipes being the problem, not the cans.
Regards

Hi,
I was lucky enough to have T Rymer's pipes on my SB7 (hence the power output - see my web site) - If you own an SB7 and have standard pipes.... sorry about that... the bike will have a light switch throttle (on or off) - final ones were better.
As you cannot get hold of the performance exhausts any more (I don’t count Corse - £3k=not an option), you could go to one of the custom (as in one-off - not chopper) pipe benders such as Quill or Gibson - they can make you a set - lighter, bigger bore and possibly a single can. Your original one may still have the middle baffle tube in it - you can see from the bulge half way up the tail section - all adding restriction.
If you need more pipe benders details let me know - the Bains Brothers (good for Ducati engines) have a tame one they use who is excellent.
Best regards,
Lynton
