Title: CB500 4 into 2 upswept exhaust system anyone?
Post by: petersy on May 02, 2015, 12:14:36 PM

I have just bought an abandoned CB500 project which I am in the process of dismantling.
The rather nice upswept exhaust system (below) with new, unused silencers was fitted to the bike, but I don't recognise it as a CB500 part.
Can anyone advise please?

Looks similar to the Dunstall with short silencers

So they would be quite rare then?

Not really mate sold lots and they were the most common aftermarket system till Motad started, usually with the longer, slightly quieter silencers, but still very common then. Probably not many left in good order though
