Hot exhausts from Higgspeed

We caught up with the man himself David Higgs at the recent Stafford Show. He said: “We’ve always produced the more traditional style of upswept exhausts that we Brits tend to prefer, but a trip to Norway showed me that this style of exhaust is also popular. We’ve seen our American and Canadian cousins go mad for this style of exhaust, too.”

So, thanks to (literally) worldwide demand, Higgspeed is now making this style of exhaust. They are handmade in the UK from stainless steel with the addition of your choice of end-can. These are available in silver, black aluminium or carbon fibre. Again, these are custom made in various lengths to (as Dave so eloquently puts it) “suit your ears – the shorter they are the louder they get!”

Available for all the various 1970s strokers that Higgspeed looks after (such as Kawasaki and Suzuki triples and Yamaha RDs) these have been developed on Roy Richardson’s dyno, the TT and Manx race star, who is just round the corner – so they provide top performance as well as sound and looks.
