I wonder what dope these two sellers are smoking  asking £400.00 and £300.00 for used clocks and £400.00 for exhaust pipe and asking £2,000 for set of hm300 exhaust which are not genuine are reproduction as if they were genuine would have HMCB750 HM300 stamped on them and the other seller asking £1,500.00 for a set of hm300 exhausts which are damaged and are not genuine exhausts are reproductions

Whether or not asking prices are reasonable or otherwise is always subjective. Very often the asking price is set as a starting point for negotiations between seller and buyer.

However, as to the un-informed  comment that HM300 stamped exhausts are not genuine and must be reproduction because genuine would be stamped HMCB750 HM300, REALLY!!- You would do well to do some research and get your facts straight (or try a different brand of dope!).......

The very first exhausts fitted to CB750 Hondas back in 1969 did not carry ANY stampings whatsoever.
Then factory fitted exhausts as fitted to UK and US market bikes built in 1970 and up to the end of K1 production were  stamped simply with HM300. These will have a baffle fitted with a vertical bar in the outlet.
I believe that exhausts stamped HMCB750 HM300 were fitted to some European markets during 1970 – 1971, and did NOT have the vertical bar at the outlet. These European exhausts are possible the least common type encountered on bikes these days.

Hopefully others will offer further comment.

Can't comment on specific part numbers etc but the sellers idea of pristine is somewhat different to mine, speedometer looks like it was cleaned with a brillo pad😆
