Good morning, the ol 250 is just sitting quietly in a nice warm garage. I've been doing the dirt bike and dual sport bike thing for the last two years so my vintage collection is sitting pretty. I assume those are scrambler pipes that were installed by the first owner. I really like the look and they fit like they were from the factory so they will remain. It's hard not to go with the black and silver as that was the most common color and looks very sharp. Good call for a CB.

You really lucked out on the pipes too. That's all it takes is some time and the will power to get on the phone and start tracking them down. You can't just look old parts up. You really have to get out there and do some legwork and talk to people. I'll take a couple pictures of the 250 when I move the garage around again soon. I have it all repaired with new fuel lines and new bearings in the starter. Maybe next summer...
