Just clocked 14K on the 550 tonight.  2203 miles in the last 6 weeks.  Thanks to all the help I've received here, the bike is running great!

It's a 70's RC.  Put it on when I removed the original pipes way back when.   8)



I'm hoping the original pipes are in the attic of the garage.  Just got this bike going after being in storage since '88.

I have an RC exhaust for a 750 in the rafters for "some day"....

Supertrapp baffle fits right in there?
If it works good, it looks good...

Yep.  There is a screw on the back-side that holds the baffle in and then the cone has it's own bolt that holds it and the spark arrestor plates to the end of the baffle.

It's a very quite pipe until you crank some rpm's and then it starts to sing.  LOL
