Looks like some of photos are from Jungle Scooters, Tokyo. Wonder if deepsouth is a member of this BS site?

Guys, a thread has already been started on these, although the title is a little obscure...

Hello!
I'm Kotaro and selling J&R chambers replica on e-bay now.
It is the first time to sell on e-bay.
I made 10 sets of J&R for some years ago and two sets (chromed and non painted ) left
and hope someone in this site have it and fun for their 350 series.
The man who made these chambers is my friend and good skill.
He made some prototype and racing parts for HRC for years.

I will also put crash bumper for 350 to my e-bay listing soon.

Thank you,

Kotaro

Thanks for the pipes Kataro, can't wait to see them. Will be interesting to compare noise difference between them and my original unbaffled expansion chambers.

My thanks as well, Kotaro san. Looks like Mike and I have depleted your inventory...
Appreciate your help with my exhaust search...

Well Bert,
Looks like we both win on this one. Can't wait to hear the new pipes. Hope the silencers take some of the high pitched cackle out of them. Been a long time since I heard the chambers on a 350. I am going to run my unsilenced set first then the hopefully mellow silenced set. Will try to record and post the sound. Not sure how that will work.

Yep, worked out like we thought when we talked the other day...be a while before I can hear mine, but I'm pumped to have solved my exhaust quandry.
Now I'll have something to hear!

Bert san, Mike san,

Hello.
I have sent it out to your address today and hope you will enjoy yourself with it.
Main Jet needs change #140 to #150.
It will be fine.
but it depends on season and conditions ~  #145 - #155  is OK.

Thank you,

Kotaro

[slawsonb]

Pipes arrived this morning. Kataro you rock, they are perfect and will look awesome on my bike. Thanks so much for packing well and delivering quickly. Your fabricator does a real nice job and the plating is great. Nice to have a new part to install. Will run with extra rich mixture to prevent bluing. Thanks so much, if I can do anything for you over here let me know.
Later Mike
