  • Anyone ever use Kerker pipes?



    A place in Superior is asking 175 dollars for them.

    I have a set of pipes on my bike that have a Kerker label on them. They are 4-2. So far, no one recalls Kerker ever making a 4-2, least not for the XS11. So be sure what your getting there.As I only paid $70 shipped for a complete exhaust I am not to unhappy, what I appear to have is stock headers with a set of Jardine slip-ons.

    Just my opinion, but I seriously doubt Kerker ever made a set of finned pipes like that. They were / are all about performance.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      I like the fins, but it looks like they go down. It would be nice to see them on a bike.

        it looks like the fins are just a slip on addition.

          Yeah the fin's look to be slip on to me too Nate. I really like the look.
          I thought they were a bit expensive too. The place is an hour away and not sure when I'll get up there. My other concern is the kickstands.
          Thanks for the input guys.

            Those are Harley mufflers, probably for a bagger. They won't be a bolt-on.....
