CB500 Original Exhausts - what are they worth?

[gvhbiker]

Hi

I've agreed today to buy a stunning 1971 build, 1972 UK registered CB500 K0 and I've been given first refusal to a number of brand new original spares.

These include a complete set of NOS genuine original Honda exhausts for the bike - How much would these be worth???

Thanks

Geoff

originals are as rare as rocky horse s**t,

 but the good news is good replicas are readily available at around £900 a set,

 from 10ft,they look the same,how deep is your pocket ?

Was it registered 10/04/1972 ?
I bought a NOS set of exhausts a couple of years ago for about £1500 but, NOS 323's have dropped since repro's have been on the market.

Thanks - sounds like a good deal then, the asking price for all the spares is less than a set of repro exhausts!!!!!!

Pretty sure it was registered May 72, not sure of the exact date but I'm told it was one of the first batch in to the UK, I'll know the exact date when I pick the bike up along with all the paperwork.

This one has had 2 owners, first Southampton area until about 2006, second near Manchester last 10 years.

If you're getting all the spares and pipes for that it's a bargain . Great score - well done!!

If its the one we talked about...and with the spares sounds good....
There was another one that turned up at a dealers a week or so later...that too was an early uk bike...so im led to believe ....all seemed to scan ok...and very close vin too
