That exhaust from Japan is really nice. I bet it wasn't cheap!

CWC did that on my 400 front wheel !

Ken4004:
The Japanese exhaust I bought on Japanese eBay about 10 years ago I think it was £250 quid which I thought was a bargain, I was lucky I was working out there for about 6 weeks and took a spare suitcase with me and used one of our interpreters to translate for me.
Found it on Japanese eBay while I was out there and it was very cloak and dagger meeting in an underground car park, the guy I bought it from spoke as much English as I spoke Japanese but sorted it out with our translator and he also threw in a case of beer into the bargain because he worked for Sapporo ( Japanese beer) .
My work mates thought I was barking mad but it was worth all the effort getting it back to the UK.
Really need another trip out there to stock up on Honda spare parts.

That is shaping up to be a lovely restored bike. You will be pleased I’m sure. Nice find that exhaust too.

Ken4004:
Yes very lucky to find the exhaust just a case of right time right place, just need to find a good chain guard now but haven’t really looked recently but it’s on the list.
