I've got 2 spare tanks off that bike.

Steam Packet caused the bike and a few others to crash over on the ferry so they paid for it. I could have had it repaired but why should I.

I sold about 5 of those sloper exhausts about 2 years ago for £325 individually and £700 for a pair .. they were all gone within hours of listing. People were then messaging me to say they had missed out and if I could get any more, they would be prepared to give me more money for them. CB250/350K exhausts genuine NOS now sell for upwards of £400 / side ... a few years back they would have been £100. NOS CB92 Benly silencers go for £1k plus for a pair and likewise CB72/77 ones.
I did alright on the DS stand at Stafford in October though. I tried haggling with DS's mate on his bargain basement area for a few low value items but the guy was adamant 'David says the price on the label is what everything on here needs to go for .. absolutely no offers'. So I paid the full price but then I found an absolutely rare SS125A exhaust, which turned out to be NOS with a tatty old £5 label on it and argued back that the ticket price must be the correct price. The guy questioned it and went off to ask DS but he was busy kerchinging his till, so the guy asked one of the other sales guys who amazingly agreed to my £5 offer. So a £300 + NOS exhaust for a fiver ... result in my book.
When you think about it a few members here agree that a £2k for a NOS set of CB500/ pipes is realistic ....so £350 x 4 = £1,400 for the same number of sloper exhausts sounds reasonably good value indeed in that context. A lot of chromers (e.g. Agbrigg) charge £350 to rechrome a single silencer.

Well the bike is back on its wheels and progressing ;D
I did purchase the exhaust thanks Ash.
These things are like hens teeth, he does have a pair of NOS new ones but can't make his mind up if he wants to sell them as he does have a sloper as well.
He has promised to let me have the first option on them if he does sell them.
Not done much as both me and the wife have had this dreaded bug that is going around (didn't even have a Christmas lunch (the wife says it's worse than covid :o she is still off, I'm back at work.
Happy new year everyone.
