Thought I would post a few pictures of Kataro's fine product. Hopefully I can make it happen. Posting pictures not my best talent.

Here's a look at the second set of pipes Kotaro had listed.  I received them around noon today.  Incredible workmanship.

Sorry guys, this is the set I bought, and they just arrived an hour or so ago. The workmanship is amazing!
I had originally thought I would powdercoat them, but I am going to look into plating.

Morning Steve,
I am anxious to hear them also. Weather is not cooperating. When it gets a little nicer weather I will try my old chambers and these new ones on the bike I have running for sale. Will try to make a short video to capture the sound. Hopefully it will work out. Stay out of the snow.

Pictures as promised...
I think they really are too nice to coat/paint...
It'll be quite a while before I can hear these, so I'm looking forward to your video Mike...

Looks like the 2nd set, and a 3rd? set have been sold.  I thought there were only 2 sets available. 

Mr. Katoro, if you have more sets for sale could you post the info on this site?

In my email exchanges with Kotaro san, he told me there were 3 sets left: 1) chrome set Mike A bought, 2) the unfinished set I bought, and 3) a set he has kept for himself. He originally built 10 sets and these 3 exhaust his supply. In order to make more there would need to be a commitment from someting like 10 BSers wanting a set. Something akin to the clutch project.
Kotaro, please correct me if i got any of this wrong...thx

Hello,

I'm very happy that 3 sets of expansion chambers have delivered to the US owners safely.
I hope it will be good stuff for coming spring season !

For this J&R reproductions project, I made 10 sets of these as a minimum lot.
6 sets have sold in Japan and 1 set were for Ray in Ireland, 3 sets have gone to USA.
(8 chromed, 2 unpainted)
That's all I ever made.
I wish to keep a set for myself as a last set but Bert san and CL-100 san wanted unpainted at the same time.
I'm happy to sell both to US Bridgestone enthusiasts rather than keeping it for me.

If anyone want to have a set, I should make order as 10 sets as a minimum lot.
Yes, please remind of  a 350 conrod and clutch project.

And I listed a bumper guard for 350 series to ebay.
If you have interesting, please see it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331109112686?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I have 2 sets in stock.

Thank you,

Kotaro

Kotaro,
I too would be interested in a set of pipes.  Maybe you can start a list here and see if you get 10 interested people.
I'm not sure if this is something you would have to run by Richard first or not.
Thanks.

Steve

Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding, Kotaro san.
Looks like you may be back in business based on the early responses...
