It is your own politicians you have to blame for the high price
If mr Raask could make them cheaper, he would, because then he would sell more. But you Americans are very good at protecting your own market
Well, any way I visited the Raask workshop on my way home from a Savage-meeting in Germany, and I have seen the new, devided pipe. It is as wide as it can get, 60mm...could it be 2,4 inches maybe. You can still use your original heat shields. The fit is absolutely perfect. The pipe itself is made in Finland, mr Raask is doing the rest in his workshop in southern Sweden. Naturally, I have a Raask dragpipe on my bike. The quality is really outstanding - this is no paperthin metal from China that wil rust after a year, so it is well worth the money.
When you get an easy-flow airfilter and re-jet your carb, you will have a "NEW" bike with more hp:s, and wonderful torque. Not to mention the sound
If you can afford it, buy it ! You won't regret it, I promise.
