Looks fantastic Paul!! Nice Bike bench as well!

Delkevic seem the way to go now, they have pretty much replaced Motad. Straw finish will look good.
I was looking at this short Delkevic silencer to my Cb550F. As trigger knows the standard silencer is unobtainable. The standard downpipes (similar sweep to 400/4) and collector are all one bit. But the output from the collector is about 2.5 inches dia. (can't exactly measure mine at present as it's with a mate who is attempting to fix the standard silencer.)
Approx what is the i/d of the i/p to that short silencer?
Integra99:
I'll measure it for you when home later...
Thats exactly why I chose it over an aftremarket OEM pipe as it has a similar sweep across the oil filter. And the collector and 4 springs are just gorgeous quality!

This weekend was busy getting rid of the 2 pack paint on my tank.. its god awful stuff! But finally got it in primer just to seal it. She needs filling as found lots of dents but feels good to get that old paint off.
New rear brakes and spring fitted so thats working nicely!
I've decided to be a bit lazy and send the carbs off to get professionally cleaned and set up. For £100 I think it will be money well spent.. I did my last CB500 ones but then still spent £80 to get them balanced and tuned up later.
Today's job is find out how the engine is doing at the paint shop!!

Quick update.. engine back in and looking very tidy, the exhaust studs were a pain but finally have a lovely set of SS one in.
Tank is just in primer etc.. so only playing at the moment.
Delkevic headers look lovely, I now need to really finish a few small areas and then can think about carbs and wiring loom! Seat, sorting mudguards etc etc..
