    Just be aware in NI that we're facing real noise issues so may need to be careful what you are selling lest customers get grizzly that their new can fails noisewise (unless of course it is quiet, in which case everyone will be more than happy). But doesn't look particularly mufflerry,.


    Sounds like a good idea to get those FXRs back intact enginewise.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    There's noise problems looming at ruapuna again too - the local residents are having another go encouraged and supported by a developer who is eyeing land to the west of ChCh...

    As it happens i have one of those mufflers here on a Norton 500 twin racebike. I didn't buy it or fit it....quality is good. It's lined with absorbent material which i have to say doesn't have much volume or thickness. i haven't as yet heard it running but the owner says it's reasonably quiet. part of this may be because the tailpipe he's fitted is too small.....we'll see.
    I really don't know how effective it'd be on a cammed FXR. Hopefully we'll see one fitted at the BoB.

    Both options i have now also come in a more baffled version, i just didnt order them as i assumed freeer flowing would sell better for racing. I can probably look at getting baffled ones if anyone is interested.

    I have yet to run one on a bucket but looking at the construction i would assume they would be on par with any "normal" style race muffler yoshi, arrow etc, baffle tube and perforation sizes, spacing and numbers look comparible.

    If they proove too loud, and the noise police get pippy, i will investigate getting DB killers imported or made to put in them like they do for road bikes.

    Yeah we have to be proactive. Just redone both my mufflers on 2 smokers to be well under rather than just ok.

    Hey Olly you got any replacement FXR camchains or maybe even a link?
    Actually maybe I should keep pulling it apart and see what else I might need after letting go at 14K in 4th gear, it did go awfully silent and not the usual mechanical cacophony that spells carnage ...

    How many times did you push your bike back?

    I've had things go real quiet real quick, as I'm sure Dave has as well. Black kettles and pots, eh Dave.
