Do they make compact noise reduction mufflers? lol
Seriously...where can you put it without making it look "out of place?"

They make inserts, but probably need a longer length of straight. I heard a BSA with them and it really worked well. I would like to put one in my 3" straight turbo exhaust. I just don't like a loud droning noise and feel like a jerk making all kinds of noise. Sort of sums up my life actually.

A cursory google search surprisingly reveals quite a few options, actually (I won't expect those to be of the same efficiency as a full-size muffler, but at least one isn't a complete a$s).#1: 1979 GS 550 EC "Red" – Very first Bike / Overhaul thread New here? ☛ Read the Top 10 Newbie mistakes thread
#2: 1978 GS 550 EC "Blue" – Can't make it a donor / "Rebuild" thread Manuals (and much more): See Cliff's homepage here
#3: 2014 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer – One needs a runner while wrenching
#4: 1980 Moto Guzzi V65C – Something to chill

Maybe a Dunstall or Emgo Dunstall replica muffler will clear the footrests.
I like the classic look of them.

^^that could run parallel to the ground…it’s the clearance I would evaluate next.
Are you going to be leaning in those curves with this bike?
