The DS one and the Yamiya ones are not double skinned. I checked out one for Saisei that came from Yamiya in Japan. It looked pretty well made and chromed but would probably discolour pretty quickly, I think, once it got hot in use. It fitted with a bit of jiggling and messing about but no way as good as the original. Following my checking of it Yamiya put 'Single skinned' on their website description. Why the hell someone can't make a double skinned one over 40 years after the original came out amazes me. They seem to manage it with the repro CB750, 500 and 350 fours.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking of trying to get a second hand collector that was undamaged and getting it re chromed, would this be a better solution or am I best just going with the pattern set? Also if anyone has a set for sale that have no dents that would be suitable for re choming.

If you do get one rechromed make sure they don't copper plate as the chroming will peel off in no time. I know people on here have had them rechromed. Try putting a request in the ' Desperately Seeking' section on here.There's this one but looks a bit dented:https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Honda-400-4-400-four-Genuine-Exhaust-Downpipes-Box-4-1/202153611467?hash=item2f114b50cb:g:FCEAAOSw~HBaOk66You could try this guy : https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bike-pusher
