    Len doesn't seem to have these, and I have an unsightly hole in my left exhaust pipe. Anyone have an idea where I can find these items? Even if I have to make some modifications in order to get it to fit, I would be interested.
    I'm in Chicago.

    eBay. Go to the eBay link on this site, change the "view" to "newly listed." An entire stock 650 system JUST popped up in the last day or two and I think he might even have had a "buy now" price...

    Thanks. Can anyone give me an idea of what I should be paying? I'm looking for the entire exhaust pipe system.

    Also, any ideas about some aftermarket exhaust systems that you might recommend?

    I put a complete stock exhaust system on my '81 Seca 550 for about $250.00 it took three eBay deals to get a solid set of head pipes.

    I got a collector and 4 head pipes (two were useable) for $55, another box w/pipes for $25 (two more useable pipes) and the balance went for the mufflers.

    I got new mufflers for my '83 through the salvage yard route.

    Since the 650s were a TAD more popular than the 550 Seca I think you could do it for less.

    Motor,

    I have a set of head pipes . They need some elbow grease but no holes or cracks. I will also have a left muffler soon. It has no rust and one small dent under the pass foot peg. Let me know if you are interested.
