Unfortunately exhausts for these are like hen's teeth. So I need to formulate a plan for a repair, the metal is pretty thin but I'm hopeful there is a way.
Restoration project of a Honda C110, that'll culminate in a Gold Award at the 2014 ACU National Road Rally (hopefully!). All to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK.

Rot...
Initially the exhaust looked in OK condition, but when I took it off it was clear it was anything but. Because of the angle of the exhaust when it's fitted on the bike it is prone to collecting water. Honda foresaw the problem with this so fitted a drain hole and pipe. Unfortunately the hole was completely clogged so, I'm assuming, the exhaust had sat with a significant amount of water in it. Even the baffles have rotted inside.

ReplyDeleteDon't know, is the honest answer! Hoping to get away with fabricating just the back piece.
