They have to be kidding or am I out of touch
ST1100:
Darn, their in same rotten condition as the 40 year old pipes on my '76... couching sooth and rust out of just every opening...
mike the bike:
And I thought the price of scrap was at an all time low.

I'm sorry but for over a grand I'd want new OEM ones, not scrap ones.
LesH:
Is it beyond the wit of man......... or anybody out else there, to realise there's a niche waiting to be filled with a refurbishing service for all of us four pipers wanting to retain originality. I'm on my second set which are rusting out slowly in all the usual places but serviceable.
The downpipes are normally fine and show nothing more than maybe a light surface rusting (which will often polish out) so how about a bespoke manufacturer producing just the silencer section with an extended portion to clamp on to the remaining downpipe section !! >:(
Seabeowner:
I have a set of these in the garage with only one tiny crack to the outside world showing and a couple with loose baffles and can't make up my mind whether to leave them, or sell now and put the cash towards some aftermarket ones when they eventually reappear. I,m sure a few out there are thinking the same.
