I think anybody should be very careful when holding up restored bikes as a benchmark as to what a specific year should look like.
The exhausts on both the 1922 and 1923 that you posted Steve are not at all like what the factory fitted in the day.
The 22 has no cut out door on the muffler and the 23 tail pipe is slash cut on the end and totally the wrong profile.
I don't put exhaust cut outs in the systems I make for 1925 to 28 Harleys because that is the way I like it but I make sure anyone photographing my bikes are aware of this and don't take it as factory.
My point here is that restored bikes can be very misleading and cause a lot of grief to the person looking to do a perfectly factory restoration.
