The Motad 2 into 1 tidies up the front and the pipes are turning a lovely coppery gold colour after 40-odd miles. The sound is typical Honda actually and as I get older I appreciate silencers more - see below for the evil racket it made when I bought it. I spent five years with a Harley and there is nothing like the sound of unbaffled pipes on the 45 degree V twin.

Fitted: Motad 2 into 1, quieter and tidier
The Motad 2 into 1 tidies up the front and the pipes are turning a lovely coppery gold colour after 40-odd miles. The sound is typical Honda actually and as I get older I appreciate silencers more - see below for the evil racket it made when I bought it.

New Motad, shocks and rear tyre
The Motad exhaust was easy, (£140 Busters)three pieces, less than an hour to strip the old and fit. The Oxon shocks (£29.99 ebay) which vary in price up to £60 are Chinese made, the chrome's decent enough and they seem to work ok. And of course the 4.60x18 Avon Distanzia tyre (£40 ebay again). More often found on the rear of big dual purpose bikes, it looks nice. The old CB feels stable and quick enough and gave no cause for concern on a 30 -mile ride a A-road at the weekend.
