You know, it's funny we're having this discussion....
I was on ebay this morning and found this for CHEAP! The seller states that he thinks it's a Jardine. It was listed for a '79-82 CB650 and Nighthawks.

The header is definitely different than the Jardine I have, but the muffler has a resemblance. Maybe this is what you have, cb650?

Yes just like mine. Did you buy it? Mine also has the welded on flanges instead of the original keepers like the mac uses.

The mac I bought brand new before the prices went nuts. It is more to the right and unequal length pipes. Same head pipes as another I bought new in 88 or so. Canister is diff though.

The jardine I bought from a sohc4 member. He didnt know what it was but it is marked jardine.
It is more centered under the engine. Equal length pipes. It does hang lower so I have to watch harsh bumps. Going to replace it with another old mac(?) I acquired. It is super quiet too. Want a little more sound.

No the jardine is still there. I like it but its quiet and hangs low. Would be great on a track bike as it has good corner clearance. I like it and will keep it but not on my daily rider. If you ever sell it let me know.
