I don't even know why Terry Good would sell it, it's not like anyone has a '73 RN to put it on!

I reckon I could get Geoff Morris to modify it to fit my Mk3 Bultaco. J

Good idea.. Or you could buy another Bultaco for the same money!

Alright, I'll bite. How do you know? Terry seems to think it's the real deal.

Graeme I will email you close up photos of an unmolested one tomorrow or I will find Bill Forsythes photos from  Jay Foremans workshop when the pipe was brand new.

I am wrong on my phone the pipe on the bike looks a new copy
but on the 27" Mac it is identical to mine
I will apologize to Terry next time he rings at 3 in the morning.

That's a lot of coin for a pipe that's had the stinger hacked off it. Even once it's repaired it will never be an original works part.

Real works parts are worth crazy money if you need them to finish of the bike as you want it.

No one other than Terry Good, Roger D and maybe 1 or 2 others have a real '72/'73 RN400 anyway.

If you can afford this pipe Jerry then I’m going to have to start charging you more.

I thought it odd that a very rare exhaust is offered for sale for collector pricing, but he suggests that it may be able to be modified to fit a TM!
