Where to find a baffle for custom 4-1 '75 CB550 exhaust
« on: September 08, 2009, 02:35:40 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm new here...just picked up two '75 CB550's last week.  The running bike had the stock 4-4 exhaust and the parts bike had a custom/aftermarket 4-1 open exhaust so of course I threw the louder, cooler one on :) 

Anyways, it's a little too loud.  Is there anyone that makes custom exhaust baffles?  I don't believe it's a MAC exhaust, or I'd just call them up.

I've learned alot already just from lurking around.  Thanks for all the info!

.a slow bike that runs great is a lot less frustrating than a fast one that doesn't.

You could make one from some mild steel.  I've seen the perforated steel at Home Depot that should work well.  Here's a link to a Yammie R-1 forum where some home made baffles were fashioned - it should get you started.  Good luck with your bike!

Tom,

I think you forgot to post the link you mentioned.
