That's certainly looking good, I like the look of the exhausts, it looks like it will sound very nice.

Yep, it does sound good

The Dunstall exhausts were a BNIB bargain. A chap bought them about 1980 for a Ducati, he then dropped the bike before fitting them, lost interest in biking, sold bike, exhausts were still in the box.

Nearly 30 years later his (by now) ex-wife is clearing loft and there they still are, so she puts them in local paper. Still got an original typed letter in there from Dunstall saying "congrats on your purchase..."

Date of them is absolutely period for the CB

Written on the box is
