Guest jimjib Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I have been wanting a little more sound out of my stock (drilled) mufflers and found these... they are certainly cheap enough at $39.00 http://www.nithburgcycle.com/umufflers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimjib Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I think they would look pretty damn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 I agree that they look good. I also like the longer Dunstall style reverse megaphone on that page. So the trick is to make it fit. What is the outer diameter of our crossover? How much would it cost to make a pair of custom bent pipes to make it fit? I really like Supertrapp mufflers and was considering a similar modification.

Guest jimjib Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 The crossover is 2in so an adaptor will have to be made... I may try a local muffler shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybill Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I just picked up a used set of Mike Velasco Racing cans for 900 FireBlade at a wreckers. He threw in a section of stainless pipe and I've found a local shop that specializes in bending stainless. Will let you know later this week how it turns out.

callison Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 It's kind of a stretch going from a Sport 1100i image to a V11 Sport, but... thanks to the magic of digital image software, and a perverse notion to see what my Sport 1100i would look like with some Ducati style Conti mufflers, you get: Somewhere, on my hard disk, I have the same munged over image with Norton Commando reverse cones, but you get the general idea. The original intent was to allow for bags and to have something besides canisters hanging off of the rear end. Nice though I think these pipes look, they do complicate the removal of the rear wheel. Something to consider. However, since this is just a digital image, the eraser tool can be used to remove the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Photoshop? Sheesh, I put Norton repops on my Eldo. Good for a couple of horsepower at least! Here she is: Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimjib Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 How about a few more pics.......what does it sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squashed Nose Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Those mufflers look just like silencers. I can imagine putting a pair of reverse cone megas on a Mk 2 Lemon but a V11? Surely not. I'll have to call the style police! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimjib Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Yeah, those big stock..automotive exhaust cans look much nicer than a set of tapered reverse cone megaphones would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squashed Nose Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 We're talking style here. The Italians have it in bucketloads. They bolt large, oval section matt silencers to their bikes because this is what fashion demands. Fair enough, twenty five years ago chromed reverse cone megas looked cool (in an old fashioned sort of way), and should, therefore, be restricted to applications from that era. It would be like putting a pair of fishtails on a Ducati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Fishtails=bell bottom jeans Cans=baggy acid wash jeans or whatever that latest bleached out look is. Reverse Cone Megaphones=straight boot cut 501 Levi® jeans. Some things never go out of style. To the credit of cans, I think if the muffler is bigger you can suppress more sound and still keep the power optimized. It is hard to find reverse cone megs with 2inch inner diameter inlet and a rebuildable core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
