I'm curious.  I see so many "original" bikes that have been outfitted with a 4 -1 exhaust, or even a 4-2 exhaust.  Was this a fad in the day, or does this continue?  I'm kind of a stock guy myself, and I LOVE the look of the 4-4 exhaust, so I don't really get it.  What do you think?
In the 70's, Honda 750's were everywhere. They were not collector items. The mufflers were actually kind of junky-looking compared to Brit mufflers and were nothing special. Just like bikes now, you get one & you gotta screw with it so it doesn't look like everyone else's. That's how it was. Now they're like gold & it's hard to see back that far.
