I really hate sloppy Item descriptions
« on: June 14, 2013, 03:28:27 PM »
Not OEM, not from a 1974 CB550F (first year was 1975).

A nice enough exhaust that looks like it would clean up well. But really, get the description right. Or am I just too picky?

Nope. It would piss me off if I was looking for one and came across this.
It's also a K. I wonder what he would take for the seat.  :D

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

No, not too picky it is a bad description. Someone should always check other sources before they buy an "OEM" part but I have a feeling the listing is like how people tag stuff on craigslist. More hits when you search
