MUFFLER BLEEP NOISE
Written by jpadaneye on 6/3/2011 at 02:29 am

Thanks for the info. Once I get into it I will you know what I found and/or did.
I am going to try a couple idea's first. I can't help but think of an old
technician motto though "new is best". But these day's, free is better!

cut the old baffle section off with a huge exhaust pipe cutter (a band saw or
hack saw will get the job done.). The blank I bought was just the size of the
hole that was left. I had a 45 degree turn out for the outlet made at a local
muffler shop. I then cut off all the original mounting brackets from the old
baffle section and had them welded in place. I think the easiest way to do this
is to cut the skin off the old muffler section just around the mounting brackets
and then weld the whole skin to the new muffler blank. (wish I had thought
about this when I did my first one) The hard part is getting all this mounted
exactly where it should go so it won't change the looks of the bike. It helps
to have a spare frame with engine to install and remove the muffler as each step
is ready to mark for welding. I used the original end cap from the old baffle
section and opened
> up the hole to accomodate the size of the new tailpipe. When everything was
done, I bolted the original chrome piece onto its mounting brackets and it looks
great.
