No longer made.
Ebay.  You might find stumble across a NOS for the price of your first born.

I dont know if this is a bolt-on for the F, but anything can be made to work

Good luck with that. I am doing a 76F build right now in the Projects Section and have also looked. They are made of unobtanium as far as I can tell if you are looking for an NOS original. I went with a Kerker and a slight mod to the rear hanger. It is still an expensive option but for me the look was right for the build.

My guess is qside is the luckiest f guy on here. He just got a beauty from me.  I do have another one but would need some patching.

I have a couple right now I am dealing with on a couple of projects and have to say they might have been the heaviest muffler Honda ever made.   ;) Almost gettin' to old to carry that behemoth around  :D

Long time no post but I could not resist commenting on this one I removed the original muffler on my 76 F1 just after I bought it in 76 as it was too quiet, ugly and had no ground clearance, I pored two stroke oil into it to stop it rusting and it now lives in the loft I replaced it with a Dunstall one which I still have but it is far too noisy for me now.
