Can i have a set of "chrome" one's for the advertised price Mr Gibson , pretty, pretty please! I know it's 80's price's, but it's for a 80's bike . If not I'll have to stick with my battered Micron's - much better exhaust anyway .

That's how much I paid for mine (in 1981). What's the shop/dealers name & location.

To put them into today's prices, we are selling them too cheap now! Bike magazine is now £4.10, so it has gone up 5.125 times. That means our pipes should be £374.12 bare or £451.00 chromed! So we are cheaper than Bike magazine

I can only reduce the lead time if everyone stops buying the exhausts Sorry but only two of us here, we are not a huge factory as some seem to think. All the pipes are hand made here by us and please remember we don't just make RD exhausts. What you find we do give is a genuine lead time. Some companies would say 4 weeks and take your money. 3 months down the line your still waiting. What we prefer to do is give you a real waiting time and more importantly we do not ask for payment up front. You don't pay until your exhausts are made for you. Hope this helps? Tony

Also remember Wez yours is a one-off set. Normally these are booked into our calender and you are given a date we can start the exhausts for you. Then you bring your bike to us on or just before this date. That way the bike is only here for the week we are making them. But by chance I was in the area for Wez and collected his bike (FOC) and therefore why it is sitting in our storage unit waiting for the date it was booked in for. So no one is jumping the que
