I have installed a 2-4 set on a 750 and 1100. The one on 750 was a no-brainer to install, no issues what so ever and quality was excellent.
The one on 1100 was not that easy. The bracket for the bolt that is screwed into the oil pan was roughly 5mm off and I had to move it to get it to sit right, but only on one side. Also the center stand rubber bracket was not on correct place and I had to build up an extension to prevent center stand from hitting the muffler. I complained to Marving with pictures and they still said that they have not had any issues with installation and between the lines message was that there is something wrong with my bike. Who knows whats the truth, but it is there now... |

I have fitted Marving 4-2 systems on 2 of my CB1100F's
They fit well and the bike performs well with them
When fitting you need to position the front pipes in the exhaust ports then, loosly fit the bolt up in to the sump, then fit the exhaust clamps to the head and tighten, then finally tighten the bolt in the sump
I bought both my systems from eBay in Italy, they were cheaper than both Wemeto in the UK and eBay Germany

Thanks for getting that info to me guys. They look like quality goods. I'm looking at the 4-2-1 to raise ground clearance on an upcoming build. mike |

My results were like metu71, fit was poor and a year in the finish already looks like crap on a bike that is garaged and not ridden in the rain. The sump bolts are a pain but the left side exhaust hanger alignment was way off. Old thread on this here:

The only choice if you want new stock looking pipes but if I had to do over I would pay up for nice stock exhaust. |

Mike - I had a 4-1 Marving on my blue 1100F. Fit and finish were pretty decent and the flat collector was 'different';

Look into a Hindle 4x2x1 Mike. Most ground clearance available |

That's the one I was looking at Peter. I will check out the hindle as well, Jim. |

No idea sorry - I sold both my 1100F's to the same person that bought my Katana. |

That is exactly how I did it. First loosely and then tightening up while checking everything fit correctly... |

I installed a 4 into 2 system in black. Fit was OK although not without some minor adjustment to pick up the oil sump bolt holes. But I am definitely NOT impressed with how the finish is holding up. I might have been happier getting the whole system powder coated or ceramic coated from the git-go. I would definitely have held off for a Hindle if they made a 4-into-2 system. |
