Hi fellas,
an update on the current development.
The muffler swap did not work.
I pulled the existing pipe (an ugly doobie-like muffler) and the bracket off the frame, tried to get the HD muffler on, but I realized that I needed to get a completely new support setup for that. ??? So I took some measurements, sketched a bracket, but got stuck with no welding shop open Saturday evening (not to mention Sunday).
My father had sold his Oxi-Acetilene kit, so I'm stuck until later in the week.
Since riding the bus to work is a no-no, and driving the cage involved a huge bill in parking, I just let the header on, bolted a chromed tip, and fired her... WOW!!! it is d***med LOUD!!!
So far, no jetting was needed altough it tends to "cough" on take off at stop lights, and BIG LOUD FARTS are coming out the back on deceleration...
I'll get ear plugs today for the ride back home, otherwise I could get permanent ear damage
I'll have the bracket cut and welded today or tomorrow, coat it with black paint, bolt the HD muffler by the weekend, and see what happens
I'll kep you posted, pictures are on the way, just need to expose the complete film, (probably a weeked job
)
Take care,
RW
