CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Does anyone have photos of a Hindle system for an RC24/RC26, not installed on a bike? Or if it is on a bike, from an angle that shows how the pipes are routed?Did Yoshimura ever make a full system for the RC24/RC26? Thankskevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 I just bought a 4 into 1 system on eBay. It's advertised as a Yoshimura, but unless someone confirms Yosh actually made such a thing, I'll assume it's a Hindle with a Yosh can. Hoping someone can give me the info one way or the other.

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted October 14, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 14, 2017 There were very few "full" systems made for the RC24/26 as the bike already had individual stainless header pipes going to the rear muffler sections. Yoshimura and Kerker were very popular 4 into 1 rear sections utilizing the stock headers. I'm not sure I've even seen a Hindle system for that bike. I happen to have a Kerker (pretty sure) unit with a Sudco canister on my RC26. Hindle/Sudco/Holeshot were very often the exact same units with different badges.

CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I used to have a Hindle for an RC24, and I foolishly sold it because I was sure I wanted stock or near-stock noise levels and two-muffler styling. I also used to have a Supertrapp set, which I sold because I was sure I wanted stock mufflers. So now, whatever this system is, I have it. I also have a Yosh slip-on, which BTW is a 4-into-2-into-1, as I'm pretty sure most (if not all) of the 1-muffler slip-ons were.. And I have stock mufflers. And I have some spare pieces to make a 2-muffler setup with aftermarket cans when I feel creative. If only I had another set of Supertrapps, my world would be complete.... Oh, and if I had a high right exit Two-Bros full system for my RC36.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted October 15, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 15, 2017 Excuse me, you are correct, mine is 4-2-1, as they all are. I have also replicated the small bend from the Kerker 2 muffler slip on system to utilize the stock muffler crossover tubing and use 2 silencers of choice.

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted October 16, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 16, 2017 That is a pretty unique 4 into 1, I don't recognize it, but it looks Yoshimura style. When you have the canister off, inspect the rivets holding the front piece onto the tailpipe and see if it looks like an original install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keny Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Looks a bit like this exhaust: Different endcan thro HRC exhaust looks different: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks for those pics, Keny! The HRC exhaust on Wayne's bike is a 4-2-1. I had a friend years ago who had a left-exit HRC on his 87. I didn't care for the sound at all... The Sudco on Chuck's bike is supposed to be the same as the Hindle that I used to have, and the Holeshot exhaust. Looking at that pic and the pics of my Hindle, I'm still inclined to believe my mystery exhaust started out as a Hindle/Sudco/Holeshot. I suspect the chrome pipe between the collector and the muffler, which slips on, was replaced by a welded pipe and the Yosh can. I think I'll email Yosh and see if they ever made a header for the RC24. (if anybody remembers, and if anybody answers...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Got a speedy reply from an ex-RC24 owner at Yosh! He says they don't have catalogs going that far back, but he doesn't recall that they made anything but the slip-on for us. So not definitive, but a very educated guess....

cknight Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Mike Velasco made a complete system for the Gen1 (RC15) bikes. Not sure if he did a Gen2 though. Ray Plumb at Honda might have a clue. Regards, Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Awesome!! Thanks George!!! I think that conclusively proves my new exhaust is a Hindle with a Yosh can added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Well, as definitively as you can get from photos on the internet... Look at George's photo, and imagine laying each of those parts up against the pipe in my pics. I believe you will find, imaginarily, that they match perfectly. So it's either a Hindle/Sudco/Holeshot, or a copy of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieFoxtrot Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Well don't I feel stupid. You're exactly right. Apparently I went blind due to my desire for an answer. The pipes from each cylinder have the same sort of layout, but maybe George's pipe is like the HRC on Wayne's bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted October 25, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 25, 2017 I do think yours looks like VFR Chuck's, and if his silencer is the original, well then. But his bike does have a "Yoshimura" sticker on it too. ?? Plus that one piece of yours that still has some nickel finish on it also tends to support Hindle.
