Isn't it amazing how things that were once a commodity can become such valuable collector's items in a few decades? I did a similar restoration of a '77 HD Low Rider back in the 90's after finding one in 80% original condition on consignment in a local shop. Stuff people ripped off and threw away like factory exhausts, handlebars, turn signals, etc. were so damn hard to find, and unbelievably expensive once found. Someday 20 years from now a guy will be looking for a factory exhaust/seat/tank for an old 2013 CB1100 he found in a barn...
