HELP Need Exhaust Collector for My 86

[sheriff1112]

I received my 86 Venture for a christmas present from my family. I have been able to get rid of that rust in the gas tank, rebuild the carbs,now I am on my exhaust. The collector needed to have the baffles taken out. I was successful but the pipes are all rusted. The welder doesn't think he can fix them. I would like to buy a collector that is not all rusted out. Thanks Tom

Hi Tom.

 

Keep an eye on eBay for sure. They pop up every now and then. New I think they run about $370.00. There was a fella around here a while back that was making them, with some nice improvements, but was a bit higher than a new EOM.

 

Anybody know if Mark is still making them?

 

A good fab guy can piece them back together if there is enough meat to work with. Sounds like you might be on the thin side.

Yes, but I don't think that he has a website any longer. Somebody posted this info yesterday.

When I talked to Mark a while back, I think they were going for $250.00 or so. That was probably a year or so ago.

The last time on his website they'd gone up to $800. Whew!!! Really neat but not for 8 C's....

Just for the collector? WOW! You sure that wasn't for the whole exhaust? For $250.00 I'd be lazy and buy it. But for $800.00 I'll make my own. It may not look as pretty, but it would come close.

Yep, I was really blown away by the increase. I think he was saying he didn't want to make them any more, but......

I contacted :markpipe@net0.net , it came back as undelivered, he must be out of business or other...

Send a PM to member Dingy, I think he might have some info on collectors...

[Flyinfool]

It appears that he has a new website and email address.

His contact info is on the website. the web site only lists collectors for the vmax. But maybe if you ask nice and get out your wallet he will make one to fit your bike.

Are the collectors on MK1's (like an 84) the same as MK2's ?

 

Inquiring minds want to know... well at least I do...
