Exhaust Rattle
« on: March 20, 2007, 03:45:41 AM »
I have exhaust pipes in great condition.

EXCEPT--  the baffles have been removed by PO

1 pipe rattles - looking inside I see a plate with two little pipes in it and a center hole.

it appears (it's up in there) that

A:  the plate is loose and vibrating,

B:  or one or more of those little steel tubes is vibrating..

C & D:  ALL OF THE ABOVE


How can I fix that''' stick a welding rod in there -??  is there any way to repair a muffler like this?

The bike has a definite  "roar" to it.. I'd like to throat it down just a notch.

What did the original baffles look like and can I jury rig something up - I read a post about using RAT wire and fiberglass or some exhaust wrap to replace a Kerker or Mac Baffles...

Is there a picture of what an original baffle looks like that anyone can send me?

Before I make up some Rat Wire contraption and stuff it in the whole, I'd better ask around before I really do more harm than good.

I like the look of the stock exhaust

I Like Symmetrical on a bike..

But I'd like a kirker but not sure about ground clearance and really have better things to put money into on the bike right now.

Now I read lots of posts about PRO GRIPS   grips.. I looked them up but there's a ton of them out there - any specific style recommended...

What types of Grips are on this bike.. I like the look!

And I assume those are MAC Turn out muffles... anyone use them?
  (they sound OK?  ( as in not to loud but not cheesy either)
