Title: HEADER OPTIONS FOR 85 1100'S
Post by: Kennyg on November 08, 2011, 06:00:08 PM
Could anyone advise who offered 4 into 1 pipes for the 85? I have one on mine that has had the can portion recovered in stainless...quite well mind you but seems a little LOUD.I don't think there is any baffle left in it and was hoping to replace it with a new slip-on??  Thanks.

Mine has a remus viper. Very nice sound. Second hand.

Why not try repacking the baffle?  Usually they're just riveted together, an easy afternoon's work the first time you do it.

I just ordered a 15" HD kit from these guys, looks like quality product, but I haven't got it yet......   Should be here sometime next week. I have a D&D system that's getting kinda loud.   Bristol Core (http://www.bristolcore.com/category_s/29.htm)

Repacking can be done with stainless steel wool, that kinda heavy stainless strips/scouring thingy, or you can go to a dirtbike shop and get fiberglass type packing.

You'll need a drill to remove the old rivets (unless you're lucky, some companies use button headed screws), and a rivet gun and rivets to reinstall them (again unless you're lucky).  Aluminum or stainless rivets work fine.

It's really an easy job, but a little tedious.  Good thing to do in the garage with a couple of beers and some music going.

I've used this packing material. A little pricey, but good stuff.
