Bit the bullet - new "late" muffs
 

Four weeks ago to the day, I ordered a set of those "exact replacement" C95 mufflers that have recently appeared on eBay. $318 for the pair delivered to my door. Initial visual inspection reveals what seems to be IMO a nice quality set of muffs. Will advise how they fit once installed, when I re-assemble my '64 (nicknamed Hanford) with the rebuilt top-end. I only see some very minor differences between the originals and these replacements, such as the shape of the top and bottom seams near the exhaust outlet, no drain hole (how's that gonna work?!?), and "Taiwanese" stamping on the front - too bad they couldn't they stamp it on the backside!?!

Those look really good. Agree on the stamping.

They look nice. Are the silencers removable with a bolt like the factory ones? I agree on the stamping as well.

Yes, the baffles are attached with a Philips head screw in essentially the same location as the stock originals (see attached pic). I have not tried to see if original Honda baffles will fit in the reproduction mufflers.

These have some of the same manufacturing characteristics as a set of CB77 mufflers I just bought. They too have no drain hole and a slight seam difference near the outlet, but a very high level of workmanship. I am very curious as to who made them.

The original is on the left and the repro is on the right.

frappy,

Do you have an actual link for these mufflers? These are the most awesome repros I have seen.

grubsie, Here is an eBay link to the seller that sold me the muffs.

His price has increased $52 since I purchased them.

Steverinomeiste, The above selller (name is Wichanchai) told me that the muffs are made in Thailand and stamped as Thailand International Standard approved, but I did not ask him who manufatured them. He seemed very willing to share information.
