When I was looking for downpipes for my CBR6 a couple of years ago, motad sold their venom range for approx. £180 or you could get them on ebay occasionally from motad for £160 as opposed to the £233 it was for their mptad range. Exactly the same pipes, just a different grade of stainless, and a shorter guarantee period.. But on their website now the only mention of venom for the fazer is the end can and link pipe.
You could try calling them to find out if they still do the venom downpipes for the fazer. A look in their ebay should a few weeks ago showed no end of downpipes for hondas and suzukis but few yamahas.
With the amount of people after new downpipes at the minute, me included, perhaps we could negotiate a discount for a group buy.

only just saw this lol - sinto :lol
did u get any where with them???
I ended up taking the head to an engine shop to drill out some studs lol - and then dismantled the bike - all is well now..
I paid £286 for mine delivered so that Ebay deal is a steal and they are the correct pipes with the balance tubes. A tad pissed off that they are now flogging them for £100 less than I paid!
Anutz, I eventually got mine off without taking the head off but it was several hours (circa 20!) of jerking about with extension drills and a Dremmel to get the sheared stud out and helicoiled. All good in the end and the new SS doonpips look the nuts.

Nice work, i suppose me spending 20 minutes thinking i would have em free is one reason i ended up in a right mess, on the plus side i now know the bike inside out....

Indeed they are Sinto, but not as fast as you on your red bike :b ....
You know I comment on your truth :lol
Hope you've been enjoying your bike now it's all good for the road, apart from it being blue though :b
How's it been with all the stuff you done to it?

its still blue, but its been brill...
the new front springs and the R6 shock have made any sort of diving disappear and its confidence inspiring!
rattling that i introduced when i changed the cam chain tensioner gasket has just gone, so its sounds sweet even when cold....
so generally very happy with it, a second bolt check after i had been out a while back showed the cylinder head covers, side caps, one of them had a loose bolt that i can only assume was from the buzzing arounf at 7-9rpm all the time....but its been fine since i re-tightened it up...
And the new down pipes i added, well the just look nicer
Only thing i want to do is put some wider bars on it...
I saw your mountain bike thread, i just got mine back together, luckily no engine to mess up on that!

Anutz Well worth all the effort you put in
Yes you've got to check your nuts regularly didn't you know? :eek :lol
7-9k revs? Drop another gear and use the box

Hi All... and more specifically Pickle I think...
It has now come the time where I need to replace my original downpipes and rather than start a new thread I figured I'd message on here.
Pickle - what was the best price you got from Motad? I'll be calling next week but figured I should see what they offered you before i do.
Thanks

They had a set on eBay last week for £160, give it 2 or 3 weeks and phone them directly saying you've seen them previously and do they have any at that price - you might be pleasantly surprised, or they'll so no!
Some say...
Cheers Punkstig
I managed to get mine on eBay for £185 which included gaskets and delivery.
You should be able to get them for something around that quite easily.
Oh, and if they sell you a badly welded. unpolished set, get on the phone and moan as that's what happened to me. e.g.

risticuss - are they motad? If so were they direct from Motad on eBay?
I'd guess they're Motad as they have the link pipes from 1-2 and 3-4, I don't think any other aftermarket exhaust has these
Some say...
I saw some Lextek downpipes at the MCN show today, £130 normally but on show offer at £115. No 1-2 & 3-4 link pipes but tempting price. Has anybody tried them?

Got a feeling they are Chinese -- good or bad - don't know, others would say cheep Chinese parts look the "the part" but thats as far as they go.
But like I said I dont know if they are Chinese, only done a quick google.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
I would say they are not Motad as I can't see the centre stand bracket that the stopper on on the stand hits.
