They're nice exhausts but pricey, $777 for a full set.

1982 XJ1100, waiting resto to original
I tried to order one of these several years ago and eventually gave up in despair. I phoned them several times and got fobbed off with a 4 month timeframe to get a system.
XS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes). Micron fork brace. Progressive front springs. Geezer regulator/rectifier. Stainless 4 into 2 exhaust. Auto CCT (Venturer 1300) SOLD. New project now on the go. 1980 European model.
The Sport in the pictures from Stephen Shapcott has upswept mufflers and look nice. The system for the standard has straight mufflers, they don't look good because the gap between mufflers and exhaust hangers is too big. In the past several sets have been put in the market (not by BSM) that were welded wrong, they were hanging even lower and had serious problems because the center stand dragged very early. You won't have that problem buying directly from BSM. James, isn't BSM a dutch company? If you're interested I can try to contact then for you.
Hey James, what kind of spacing is there on the XJR exhaust? Would those fit on an XS?

I'd say that might be a possible. I'll measure up tomorrow and post again!

It fits, but the collector box will be hanging downwards at the back. U have to cut it and reweld at a correct angle. Saw them several times at a German meeting.
Guys, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but at last report, BSM aren't manufacturing any new exhausts.
I was searching mid last year for anyone worldwide making pipes for the XS11's and sent a request for pricing of a set like Schapper's, and got given the bad news then.
I messaged Schappers and he also tried from his end (more local, in case that was the problem) and he received the same message,
which upset him a fair bit as he wanted to order a new front engine pipe from them..
Sorry!

There is always that German guy that makes OEM replicas in stainless.
