Very nice bike Steph, where did you find such a fine example? Or have you restored it. Very nice set of down pipe's.

Norniron:
Yea really nice pipes

Steph550:
Thanks :)

I bought the bike from Charlie at Oxford Classic Honda, it was in tatty original condition at that point having been sat in someone's garage for a few years awaiting restoration, and I've just done bits and pieces to it over the last couple of years (lots of polishing, new rims and spokes, etc). The big issue was the exhaust, there was a big dent in one of the original downpipes and the silencer was starting to rust out inside. Luckily I managed to talk a friend (and owner of a classic motorcycle exhaust manufacturing company) into making a one-off exact replica of the original downpipes and silencers for me in stainless steel.... Not cheap (at all) but worth every penny in my opinion. I'm still trying to talk him into making and selling them...

Here she is showing off her 'good side':



Steph.

Norniron:
If you can talk him round steph tell him il have two made.

LesterPiglet:
You should float this idea on the US site. I think you would find a lot of interest.
