It's in their eBay shop: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CB400-4-4-1-Stainless-steel-pipes-and-collector-by-Motad-/161768793224
Just over a day left on the auction as I write this, and it's a lot cheaper than their chrome version I bought from DSS last year.
For a silencer there are various ones available when you look around, such as this one at £105 delivered:

My bid is in on the S/S downpipes :D. The silencer is Brituro has anyone used them?
beemsquar:
Cheers for the replies guys.
I read ManicGTI's post, very interesting, possibly the same problem, maybe I should have checked the compression first? Tom I see your point about hex heads, I think a new bolt set might be more fitting to a classic build. I would like to keep the engine as original as possible, I think I might even shy away from painting it yet and just get it blasted, so many decisions!
I haven't checked the pistons for oversize markings yet, but I will do when I finish work later.
I'm going to try and split the crankcase later so I can make a full shopping list of parts. I was reading Royhalls experience on here last night about getting the right colour main bearing shells, lets hope I don't need black ones!
You never know the bottom end could be fine, here's to hoping anyway.
As for the exhausts and mufflers, if anyone has either of these or others on there bikes I would love to see a video clip to hear the differences!
I think the sound is as important as the aesthetics.
I don't want anything too loud, but a bit of low growl would be nice!

I would use OEM bolts for the crankcase half's. Pistons "should" have their oversize marked on the flat next to the piston pin, but I have a set of Honda +25's with no markings. Ade at cga fabrications in Poole can do weld repairs on alloy cases 01202 747405.

Crikey! Are there any cam bearings in there?
