OEM HM300 worth the money?

(1/2) > >>

Hi,
I have a K1 with an aftermarket 4in1 exhaust and would like to bring the bike back to a more original look. (and sound)
I've been looking for at nice set of used HM300 pipes but it's nowhere to be found in good condition.
So my question is now if it's worth the money to pay 2k for a set of original pipes from http://www.cmsnl.com or should I go for a set of reproduced HM300p from David Silver at half the price?
…how big is the difference in quality, fit, sound etc.?

Thanks,
Jacob

Norniron:
If you were to buy the pipes from cms,would they add £2000 on to the value of your bike?
Personally id go for the repros

warp:
Yes if it's only a matter value of the bike (short term at least) I fully agree. The OEM pipes will not add 2000 to the value of the bike just by bolting them on. However for me the value is not that important as I've no plan to sell the bike.
I'm more interested in the difference between the original pipes and the repros in regards to performance and quality?

UK Pete:
I would say both performance and quality would be near the same

If the Silver ones are the Yamiya ones then they will definitely be high quality and ont have all of the 'verbage' stamped into them like the late production Honda ones had. CMS always seem overpriced to me, that's why I have never bought anything from them, luckily I have always managed to source elsewhere !

Cheers .... AshD
