Ooooohhh !!!
Look what the delivery man brought today, my new set of aftermarket exhausts from CMSNL.
Been waiting a while for new stock but well worth the wait. Ordered Wednesday in my hands Friday :) :) :)
At first inspection look really well chromed and well made, however at £800 all in was a big decision but I am sure once they are on I will never regret getting rid of the somewhat pitted pair of 2-1s that came with the project !!
Reason for the post -- is if anyone wants a repro exhaust set then I would highly recommend the CMSNL ones but stock does seem to be a bit erratic.

Hi m8
got same set on Dec from cmsnl after looong wait! It was the last part to finish my restored CB.
Set looks great and fitment on bike was spot on.
The only problem i faced was that the position of the rubber stop for centre stand was a little forward causing the centre stand to hit the muffler when is closed.
I came up with a small addaptor to put the rubber more forward...maybe my centre stand is diff...
Did you fit your set?

Do you have the exhaust mounted right ? strange that the stand is not located against the rubber stop. Useful link >>http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,9170.0.html

Still can't work out why CMS and DS are getting them from the same factory but DS has rejected them on quality and not available yet, but CMS have sold several batches. However, great news they are even repro'd. Sounds like I got into CB500/4 ownership just at the right time.
Welcome from me GiannisFour .. please introduce yourself in the Newbies section.

Maybe some, yet undiscovered fitment issues?
CMS is a pure storage/resell operation, whilst DS seems to have some w/shop activities going...
