I remember taking some out back in the 80’s on my 400/4 at the time they were made of a white woven material (asbestos?) and were spiral bound with very thin wire. I immediately thought they looked very dodgy and they left fibres in the port.

Like the ones I have then.  ;) I mangled the first ones I fitted but succeeded 2nd time, I had ridden a few thousand miles after I bought the bike none the wiser. Okay, next time the pipes come off, copper ones go in! Thanks everyone.  8)

I have a magnet, will check, I won't be buying the cheapest!
