$135,000.  Even though the YouTube video says 35,000 to 40,000 British pounds.

Does anyone have any idea why Honda made their wrenches with an 8mm/12mm and a 10mm/14mm?  My way of thinking is that they should have been an 8mm/10mm and a 12mm/14mm.  Perhaps to fit in the tool bag easier or make certain adjustments on the bike with these configurations?   ???

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the compliment!  I can say for sure that the file point is original Honda.  I asked the same question about the hole in the top of the file in an earlier post of this thread.  In all of my looking at file points in various Honda tool kits I haven't ever seen the hole.  Only in the manual drawing.

It took me awhile but after several Ebay purchases of tool kits I have finally got a correct 1969 tool kit. In the posted photos I also took a photo of the back of the tools so you can see those stamped markings.  Please let me know if any of the tools don't look correct.

It appears from the bottom of the gas tank (that has a hole in it) and the top of the frame that it caught fire.  The exhaust mounts connected to the frame have been cut off also.

Welcome, Steve.  Glad to have you as part of the club.  Enjoy restoring your 12/69.  It is both challenging and rewarding.

Someone just posted on YouTube short videos of their Lotus Root pipes with and without the baffles.  Very nice!

Hi Steve,

I really hope you didn't write the part in the disclaimer that reads "fastened only at once point with a single bolt."   :D

Are there any differences between No No. (Number) Exhaust & HM300's?  Or are they the same it's just that the HM300's are stamped "HM300"?  Do they have the same baffles diffusers?

Thank you, Ujeni & Steve for all that great information you provided.  I messed up.  I should have written in the title "Lotus Roots vs. No No. Exhausts.  My engine vin is 4646 so the correct exhaust for for my bike would be No No. Exhaust.

General Discussion / Lotus Roots vs. HM300's

Hello All,

Now that some of you fortunate ones have owned Lotus Roots for awhile (and Yamiya is selling them at a much more reasonable cost making them more accessible for more - $2250 US + shipping) how do you compare them to HM300's?  In Yamiya's advertisement for the Lotus Roots they state that they are *For racing purpose only and not for highway use*. 

LOTUS ROOTS:

1. Do those that own them agree that they are for racing only?

2. How does the sound compare?  Louder, deeper, better sound?

3. Do they provide better performance with less exhaust restriction?

4. Would you recommend purchasing them over the HM300's? 

5. Are they worth the extra cost over the HM300?

6. Please add to this list if I am missing anything.

Thank you for your input.

Joe K.
