bmannon Posted September 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2008 how do these come off? they appear to just slip on and be held in place by the springs but I cant get them loose. Are they screwed on? or do I just need a bigger hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctraylor Posted September 11, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2008 Just a bigger hammer. Once you break them loose they will fall off. The springs are the only thing holding them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmannon Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted September 11, 2008 thats what i thought but didnt want to go tearing them up if i was wrong. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murph Posted September 11, 2008 Share #4 Posted September 11, 2008 There is a rubber sleeve that tends to bond itself to the tip and the pipe. They will come off, but you just have to work at it. A little penetrating oil won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tessa c2 Posted September 11, 2008 Share #5 Posted September 11, 2008 yup and after you have them off, they will have a tendency to turn insiide once you drive. what i had to end up doing is drill a small hole on top between the spring clips inorder to hold them in the correct possition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmannon Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted September 11, 2008 after they are off is there room to get a drill in the back of the can to drill holes in the back of the baffle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Ahhh yes I have seen that thread, I was hoping that the ones with the turn down tips were different. A guy can wish, right? Mabe a long drill bit and go thru the back cap and thru the rear baffle? I seen a thread the other day where someone had cut off the back of the mufflers b/c they were rusted and then drilled thru the baffle, wonder if you could do that and then still reattatch the turn down? I am probably only going to ride this bike thru next summer and hate to buy the slip-ons for it, but that is probably the best bet in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted September 11, 2008 Share #9 Posted September 11, 2008 The turn-downs are just tips that slip on the end-cones. Yeah, I was just thinking about that, if I had a 3/8 or 1/2 drill bit that was like 2 feet long... There are 4 different baffles per George's pics. That "tail pipe" section goes thru the rear two. If I could drill 3 or 4 holes in the forward two baffles, that might let just a bit o' growl out. The tips require the rear cones to slip onto. Anything else would be a custom job left to the discretion of the rider! Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
