The company that I used will be posted below, they were recommended to me via a Facebook group and I can honestly say they were as good as one would hope.
Delivery took 6 days, ordered on a Sunday and delivered on the Friday, kept informed all the way with tracking.
I paid via PayPal which no doubt will be a bit more expensive as payment is in euros and exchange rate wouldn't be the best, but if it was to go wrong this would've given me more avenues to claim back my payment.
Total was 1723.00 EUR which converts to £1610.94 and this includes delivery.
On a brighter note now that we have a Brexit deal no other fees should be added.

Thanks Eddie, the wife is moaning like f**k as the box is taking up so much space in the spare bedroom :lol:
I told her that its only there till April, the next problem is what to do with the system that I take off, I have no intention to get rid of it so another set of mufflers and pipework to go under the bed to join the spare set under there already :o
Thanks for the pic, def a right decision to buy.... Catch up soon :)

When is Swampy's exhaust center opening! Probably a good idea to stockpile some good standard sets, people seem to be restoring more of them these days.

Can't wait to hear what they sound like.... If you don't like it maybe they'll fit my Z1000 haha

Thanks for the link Swampy, been looking for a set of these for a few months now so was over the moon to find someone who can still supply them. Went to the site and tried to place an order but message came up “not currently shipping to the U.K. “
emailed them to try and reserve a set and find out when they will be able to ship so fingers crossed. P.s thanks Eddie for the heads up been pulling my hair out trying to locate a set for my B1 restoration.

DaveZ1, I wasn't planning at getting these just yet, but with the no deal on Brexit I wasn't going to hang around in case they decided to stick any charges on top, glad now that I did buy them, either they've ran out or the Brexit business has delayed things.
Please post here how you get on, hopefully other members can get an order in sooner rather than later :)

Well when fitted I'll post a vid, just hope that this Covid shite dies down a bit, that's the reason why I didn't bother getting my bike out in April this year, because of the lockdown, if things carry on as they have been I might have to leave it in its bag till April 2022 :o :o
As for the spares, I have a pair of mufflers and when I change to the new ones a complete system, all in very very good condition :P
