Exhaust

AndyD:
Morning all,
Well, the 400 fired up (much to my surprise) pretty well first try so bit of a result there - even ran quite smoothly considering only basic setting up done so far.
Knackered old battery but booster I bought a couple of years ago works amazingly well to help it on starter etc.
Lots of cable ties and bodges to hold everything together where I had assembled the bike to see if she ran OK before spending any more money on prettier bits - she's had a really hard life so every single part of the bike has been bodged, damaged, worn out or replaced with non-standard bits.
As she now looks more promising I'll slowly strip back bits to tidy up again - hopefully the engine and frame can stay untouched during this so it's easier to play with.
One thing I'm struggling with is the silencer. The bike came with the original downpipes and collector all in pretty good nick but no silencer. For the trial run I bodged a rusty old silencer off one of the CJ's with tin foil, clamps and cable ties just to save annoying every neighbour in the area.
I really want an original look silencer but it seems noone has these in stock any more - does anyone know if these are being re-made anywhere or is it now just a choice between finding one on eBay or going for a universal style silencer?
Cheers,
Andy

Has dave Silver stopped doing the 400 exhausts?

TrickyMicky:
If you want something that is not an exact copy, but fairly close, there is a company in Redditch called Classic Bike Shop, and they stock Dunstall Decibel silencers at a reasonable price,(per Pair)! and are supplied with, it seems, a host of different adaptors to suit a range of bikes. If you study the advert it gives all the dimensions, diameters etc of the product. I may have to go out to the garage and take a tape measure with me! Good hunting. Mick.

AndyD:
Thanks,
I think DS and others haven't had the replica silencer in stock for some time - no idea if they plan to make more so guess maybe a few emails.
I'll have a look at the Dunstall one as it may be a good option at least in the short term
Cheers,
Andy

If you can afford them CMS might be able to help, they don't seem to have one just now as it is temporarily unavailable, but you can put it on a waiting list with them:  https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb400f-england_model14639/muffler-comp_18310377003/#.XrgWyGhKiUk
