I was fortunate to find a pair of Yoshimura slip on's on eBay that are in pretty good shape. I've always wanted a pair of these. I am in the process of repacking them and general restoration. Currently I'm disassembling and waiting on the fiberglass packing material. Here are the pictures;

Instead of fiberglass packing, use scrub able stainless steel, and you will never have to repack them again.
Ever.
Also ceramic fiber is a good packing material. Nice mufflers. Pat will give you polishing instructions :lol:... :drinks:

Really? Ummm... interesting.. my muffler needs to be repacked.. I know people have used S/S.. didn't realize that was one of the more inexpensive options.. I take it you speak from experience? :)
Hey Garth, yes, I've done it and it is expensive. I bought mine from Burns:

Wear gloves....
I have the same cans. I like the nice throaty sound without being too loud. I always liked the looks of them too.
They look classy on the FJ. I wouldn't mind having a set myself.

I bought mine a loooong time ago brand new. Still got 'em, they're a quality product.

Which of your kids will get the 39?. :biggrin:
I have them too -- came on the bike and at first I wasn't sure I was keeping them. But I grew to like them - they give the bike a throaty sound without being too loud for touring.

Ha! That 'ol thing? Probably Nick (the one making the funny face). Since the BSA was an old military bike - desert sand color under the red - He's 16 now and wants to be a Marine since he was 5! The other two would prefer the FJ or the TDM even though the BSA is worth more.

oh man, you're Killing me!
The Yoshi slip-ons definitely have a unique tone to them, and they look great.
Great find :good2:

Indeed they do, Fred. I'm excited to get them repacked and mounted up!
I have never heard an FJ with the yosh can's but I did hear alot of kawasaki's with them, they seem to be somewhat calm until all hell brakes loose when rev's went skyward is what I thought and remembered as a younger man. Amongst our group of friends they were the pipe's of choice back in the day. I would love to hear an FJ with those yosh pipes being spooled up!
