Calm down Ash... I have had a PM from Joe and will be in touch with him later today.Steve
Hi Joe. Welcome to the forum.Do you have any plans / appetite to manufacture CB500/4 HM323 4-4 exhaust sets? If so I'm pretty sure there will be at least 10 of us here on the forum who would order sets..I'd order thre sets straight away.Also, if you needed a set to use for jig / reference purposes I'd be happy to lend you a set.Feel free to pm, email or reply here.James.james@hm-marketing.com
How close are your CB250/350K silencers to standard Joe and are they comparable on noise levels? do you do your own chrome plating?I reckon there is a much bigger market for those than CB72/77 as the CB350K was sold by the bucketload in the USA from 1968->1973 and there are floods of them being imported now by the likes of DK etc. Essentially the exhaust design never changed much apart from being one piece pipe/silencer originally. NOS has dried up almost now.Cheers ... Ash
Joe why doesn't someone find the original presses for the 500 exhausts, they are still around but they were sold I'm led to believe to a firm in China who produced all the later ones that TBH weren't anywhere near as good as the original Honda pipes.I'm sure with the original presses and proper English engineering you could produce a quality product, maybe even do some in stainless. Don't know if the presses could handle stainless instead of mild steel but you never know.

I can send you some pics if you like?We have been selling these for many years and they are a constant seller for us. Joe
