I guess I was wrong, I thought this web site was all about restoring a classic motorcycle to original, it seems you care more about modifying your bikes.

So let me get this straight, the pipes you are willing to pay $2000 for pipes that are not identical to the original exhaust system? You would rather have a re-manufactured set of pipes instead of a brand new in the box stock exhaust. I don't think any of you understand the English language. I know Steve isn't manufacturing the exhaust system, the whole thing doesn’t make sense to me. From time to time someone finds a set of NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) pipes with the original factory boxes (yes, brand new 40 year old parts), lists them on ebay and sells them for under $2000, way under. I bought a set a year ago, used, no rust a couple of small dents (that can be repaired) for under $400 including shipping. And yes they are the early no part number set. Can you start to understand my confusion?

Hey is anyone interested in buying a couple of dozen Sand Cast wiring harnesses almost like the original, for say $1500 each?

Please enlighten me. Why should we spend $2000.00 for one of these exhaust systems, when I see a new set of pipes one ebay for $1200.00?

I understand it's not 1969, but the original price of the whole motorcycle was less than $2000.00.
