Nice find. Does it have the front bracket on the top tube for a solo seat. New solo seats are often on ebay and springs. You might have to modify the nose of the solo seat to suit.They do look so much better with one.

Thanks, found the seats you were talking about...may go that way but was hoping to find a used one that would go better with the "patina" of the bike..

There are numeous companies now making exhaust pipes and silencers, but the problem is that not many of them fit. If at all possible it is best to compare yours as a pattern to ensure that it is correct. Check everything ie outside diameter, position and size of mounting bracket and bend radius.  I think that C and D Autos stopped selling them because they had so much trouble with them. Al the best

Yes, don't count on them being a straight fit.Take yours to the supplier if possible and get as close a fit as possible.
