Ray Cecil Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yes, I am aware. It is not a spark arrestor. It is only a mini glasspack. Its literally constructed just like a glasspack. The spark arrestor is still inside the muffler. Here you guys go. This is how it sounds. I think just a little too loud....may try to mellow it out a hair.

I think you'll find that is too loud. By the end of an hour of riding I think you'll agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im late to this thread guys (as usual) but this trip looks great! There is no way youd want my loud pipes rumbling down the trail with you but if you end up anywhere near me, Id run supplies down or whatever I can to help.

I rode it around a lot yesterday with my helmet on.....yes....its too loud. I dont want to spend $350+ on a slip on muffler. I think that is a rediculous price for a muffler. So...I have the stock baffle....I'll start modifications on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...I have the stock baffle....I'll start modifications on it. Also, stayed up pretty late last night....had and idea.....I saw the light bar I took off the 87 bronco...... I took that silly looking headlight off the bike. I was able to use the bike's factory headlight mount on the light housing from the light bar. I also used the high/lo beam light from the old headlight. I was also able to reuse the water seal/boot that surrounds the connectors. Im going to add a couple small fog lamps below it to help increase the amount of light output. Not the best way of doing this mod, but it was FREE.

I think I like the headlight, but show me a before and after. I'm not sure what the original headlight looked like. But, I can't imagine we'll ride much while it is dark on the TAT.

But, I can't imagine we'll ride much while it is dark on the TAT. Here's some more pics of the headliner Gary. The space above the driver's visor should be perfect for switches, just not sure how your wires would be routed, it's pretty tight/flush at the top of the A-pillar. Long way round through the dome light would be best for the wires, but I'm sure you'll figure something out. And the radio mounts with a piece of foam between it and the tray and then between it and the headliner. I'll hopefully have a pic with it installed next week when I hope to have my interior tied up. I did not want to mount the radio without the trim to support it installed. Oh, and the tray/bracket does not come pre-cut, which is good if you plan on mounting a smaller CB radio. Sorry you had to wait, I only got down to the garage yesterday. I've been pressure washing concrete all week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks, Ray. Good before and after, and I like the round old-school headlight far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
