Rare survivor?

Someone has put an interesting baffle in mine - sort of like a fender washer acting as a butterfly valve,but a bit more complicated.Shut for a horrible fluffing sound,or open for a full bore cackle.I got them for the baffle,I reckon they would be better in my slash cuts,which are a way better looking muffler.

You're half deaf and wear earplugs to stop the tappet noise anyway -- what do you care about baffles?

Well,people keep asking how my bikes get a WoF with all the noise they make.

Anyway,I'm not half deaf anymore - thank's to the small proportion of people here who have worked and made a contribution to ACC....I can now hear the little birds twitter.

There should be an adjustment to hear what they're actualy saying.

Bung em on tardme under 'bates' mufflers cos they were usually cheap chinese copies of the real thing. Can in two flavours, most popular was upswept... The 'old skool' bobber guys pay well for em nowadays...
