As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

No Mo Muffs

Plan A was to just drill out the baffels. Not a good idea.

Went to plan B.

Got out the sawsall and just cut the muff off just behing the weld that attached the muffs.
This also left the crossover pipe intact.

Fired her up and ...........drum roll......... she fired, she ideled, she revved.

Mounted her and took her for a ride in the hood. No dead spots, so backfiring, seemed to run fine and was not THAT loud.

So what do you think? Is the above possible? Is some evil problem lurking in the shadows that will raise it's ugly head after a few more miles?
 
Pull your plugs to make sure you're not running lean. If they check out, you're goog to go
 
Thanks,
A lean running bike would make the plugs look like?????? White?
 
That's the color, imagine if a spark plug could be an old Christian dad with three gay sons and alimony

aka glazed, white, and ashy
 
I did the same thing. Couldn't stand how quiet it was. I bought some nice thick chrome exhaust tips on Ebay and welded them on though. It looks and sounds sweet.

Where did you cut them off? Did you leave the crossover like I've done?

Did you have to rejet?
 
I cut it right at the welds for the old muffler. No, I didn't rejet, maybe I need to I don't know. But everything seems to be going ok. Today I tore the carbs off and cleaned them and when I put them back on I had lost alot of power, but I think I might have just fouled some of the plugs because I flooded it pretty bad when trying to start it afterwards, and I didn't replace the vacuum line to the petcock. But anyways, I just took an exhaust pipe adapter, put it inside the exhaust tips and welded it right on. The muffler heat shield guard thing from the old muffler fits right over the welds so they are concealed. It looks sweet. If you want a pic I can email one to you.
 
Did the same thing to a four in one Kerker. The guys I ride with all run KZ's with straight pipes, I just wasn't loud enough. When I cut it, right at the weld, it left the baffle in. Spent about 30 minutes pulling all that crap out and now run straight pipes. Love that ROAR!!

Thanks, a pic or two would be nice.
 
Are you running stage-3?

I tried the same thing about 2 weeks ago and it was way too lean. Had to richen it up a bit with a larger main and more turns out on the mix screws and also raise the needle a notch.

I'm glad to hear your plugs are good. I tried driving on the highway and it kept consuming the fuel in the bowls to fast and running out of power after about 20 minutes of running. Stuck on the side of the highway at nighttime and your bike won't work is NO FUN!

May i ask what are your floats set at?

Diggity-damn does it sound good though. People's heads turn!!!
