Pattern exhaust system
« on: October 09, 2017, 09:26:12 PM »
Anybody bought a four into four pattern exhaust from DS or CSM? Are they worth it?

Failing that, is it feasible to get my original ones rechromed?

Pattern ones are very good for the price. To rechrome is expensive and there is no guarantee that the baffles won't fall apart  ;)

Lovely bike James .. and yes the DS/CMS pipes are nice and deffo double skinned and lovely quality as are Yamiya's CB750 pipes. CMS & DS  invested a lot of money in the tooling. To me they make re-chroming originals a definite no.no. Trigg is right .. usually the baffles will be rotten or heading that way and the chroming process will finish them off.  It's different with DS's silencers/downpipes for Honda  twins though..they are all slightly wrong shape and don't cut the mustard as far as I am concerned.

 That woman with the weird tongue is freaking me out James. WTF is that all about. My two daughters are both copywriters and always banging on to me about the power of advertising/branding etc. It's all BS to me  ;D

I know I know. I've fitted a set of Pki's now but not taken any more photos :-).

Not so sure the very very early K0's had them James .. the one you sold me had n sign of them. Bryan will know for sure !

There are two early ..squared off crankcases 3/71  500K0's on eBay at the mo. One is Freddies and the other is Ray Hull's (big in Black Bomber circles) hence his eBay name. Neither have panel stickers and mine didn't either. How about your early ones James?

I suspect Freddies has been repainted as there is no preserve nature sticker on the tank either, not sure about the other but big side reflectors and new headlamp brackets so probably different side panels at some time

All of my early bikes have the sticker Ash so Bryan is spot on - they should be there. Difficult to comment on Freddy's without seeing it in person - but have to admit of all the ones I've seen recently that looks the most original / correct to my eye...(

I wonder if the one you sold me was so early that they didn't fit on early bikes as deffo no tank sticker either. As you know, the paint on that bike was pretty faded and looked bog standard original to me. The VIN is<1000 so could be subtle differences in early production. I could be wrong though ... I quite often am !

No 36 which I imported from the US, i bought the side panels first and they had stickers on--that was why i contacted the seller and ended up with the bike, or what was left of it, unfortunately not the rare cases
