Just reading Bill Silvers latest book- Classic Honda Motorcycles Identification Guide. He states that the stainless steel mufflers were on the early (1960-1962) Dreams. My late 1963 (CA78 frame) has stainless mufflers, at least I'm pretty sure they are. They're pretty dented and scratched underneath and there was no signs of rust or peeling chrome on them, even where one mount had broken off, and plenty of rust on anything that was chrome. They are however magnetic, which I know some stainless is not.
My question is, does that mean my mufflers are not original? Not that I'm complaining, I hate the rusty chrome stuff, just a point of curiosity. Anyone else have stainless mufflers on the later years?
