Andy, You have mentioned the two best contenders... (Imho)
I would prefer Kerker, although Yoshimura for max power. I have not seen a yoshi pipe that allows removal of oil filter without dropping headers.

Then you have the questions of:
How do you ride, what are you going to use it for - really meaning where do you want the power? Smaller header diameter gives better midrange, bigger headers more top end power.
What spec. is your engine to? How much ground clearance do you want? How much access to things like oil filter etc? More noise does not necessarily mean more power.

Got this from Ebay still not sure if it is a Yoshi pipe but it sure is close,fat headers and 3" dia pipe not many other pipes from that era fit the bill?and it is to good for a home made job.Image

I have a stainless V&H copy made by SpeedPro called Eagle Classic Stainless and it's the dog's... All you have to do is to order the racing baffle right with it or buy one from V&H.

Cheers,
