Yours could be a Motad system

Chris, that's all great info, thanks. I will get some good close up photos at the weekend.
I have a vague recollection of my Dad being very pleased with a micron silencer he put on it back in the early 90s, but confess I haven't even looked at it since I got it. No budget for complete system, so head scratching time now.
Thanks for the link. 8)
Chris400F:
If yours is a Motad system I'm pretty sure this will be stamped on the silencer, on the outward facing side towards the outlet end.
If you are still intending to wrap the pipes then I suppose there is a chance you may be able to find a reasonably priced set of OEM pipes with poor chrome. Rechroming these is expensive so systems that are nice and shiny seem to command higher prices. If I could find a reasonably priced OEM system with good chrome for my own bike I'd have one, otherwise the replica system stays in place.

I'll check it at the weekend. May just be sticking with what I have if they are salvageable, looking at costs. Not needed for a while yet, so will keep an eye out for bargains in the background whilst the build takes shape.
All good helpful info, ta.
Anyone any ideas or advice on the seat / hoop question on the previous page?
TIA.

Check out Pinterest for some cool Cafe style bikes.........there are some amazing machines on the site. Nothing too technical but great for interesting ideas.
