Arrow exhaust systems?

[KevinB4stk]

Does anybody know of a dealer where I could get an Arrow exhaust system for my XR400 in the U.S.A.?

Kevin - Talk to Geoff and tell him I sent you. He's a good guy.

So, this is a new one to me. Rich, what, or who is Arrow?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Euro company. The Factory Yamaha GP bikes are running them. Interesting looking silencers on them. I haven't gotten any feedback from anyone I trust so at this point they are just any interesting oddity to me :)

Oh, now I remember where I heard them mentioned. A customer of mine in Belfast was talking about them.

I sent him the stock muffler from our test WR to see if it would fit his header (it does). He was saying if it didn't work, he was going to get an Arrow.

He called last week, said they had just held their first enduro since the Hoof and Mouth shutdown in January. Said it's been a long dry spell for the shops over there. If nobody's riding, nobody needs parts!

Arrow has been aroung for a long time.I had one on my 88 CR125 and it produced some serious top end.They seemed to dissapear from the MX scene for a long while and concentrate on road race.I think with the 4 strokes they are making a comeback.

arrow exhaust

I am going to get one for my 426.
The Ti version w/ cf silencer is less than 500$.
It, as Rich says, has an interesting looking silencer.
It certainly can't be louder than our US made stuff...

 

[Rich Rohrich]

We'll be expecting a full review Bill :)

I accept the mission, Obi-one...
BTW, it appears that the exhaust doesn't have a spark arrestor option.
I will have to fit a sparky screen into the end cap or make a new end cap to accept a spark arrestor.
Not a big deal, I would be very excited if it was quiet and well constructed.

It is on its way.
I was mistaken about the price.
499$ for a Ti silencer and stainless tubing.
200$ for their SS header.
Arrow has some interesting pictures on their website.
I tried to attach one but it was too big.

 

[DualSportr]

I was kinda wondering when you said a complete ti system for under $500.

Even using Russian titanium, which is cheap, the cost of building with the stuff is more expensive (than stainless) because it's more difficult to weld - especially the Russian stuff - more impurities.

What's their website address?

This is the photo page.
I can't believe I ordered a Ti exhaust pipe.
I must be hiding some Ducati underwear somewhere.
Next it will be carbon fiber.
Forgive me....

Arrow

I would assume it would be Quiter since the Eros have a more strict noise standards in there GPs and such.

The month of August

Is a national holiday is Italy.
Gee, lets take the month off and go to the beach?
Sounds great...
Anyway, Arrow is not answering the phones this month. The importer will keep me posted.
BTW, he gave me a deal because I said I was going to do a book report on it.
