WOOOHOOOO!! flange arrived 10 minutes ago.  :thumb: Now my ? is, what's the square metal piece tacked in the pipe end where the muffler bolts? seems that would do some major airflow restricting? then again, i'm no expert  :dunno_white:

The Buddha

That's the Choker ... if you wanted no choker ... OK break it off ... pliers should do it ... as will gently tapping back and forth ... its welded in just 2 spots just to be able to break off.
Cool.

No time to wash the bike

The Buddha

OK new ones are out ...
Now what if you have a new bike and got an old flange ...
Cut the pipe exactly where the thing has the larger pipe slipped on ... and sand them all ... and slide it on ... and put it on the bike ... bolt the can up ... if it fits ... clamp down the slipper fit area .. .clamp the can to foot peg carrier and you're done ...
If the flange hits stuff ... rear brake lever especially ... PM me ... or pull the flange to the rear of the bike till it clears ... at that location to where it doesn't hit ... (remember you have to press the brake and still not hit it) see if it will clamp on ... if not ... get it welded ... if its too far off ... PM me, I'll send you a flare fit ...
You can also knock a clearance groove in the pipe where the brake lever should go ... but its prolly harder than the rest of the ideas.
BTW your rear brake shouldn't move a whole heck of a lot ...  O0 so make sure its not hanging waaaaay down there ...
Cool.

OK last call on these ... I wanna say I am down to the last 4-5 ... some are being modded for new ... cos they are all old type ... I'd say give or take 3 new and 2 old are all that's left. Old should fit new, new after these mods wont fit old. The prior few I sent ... will entirely cross fit ... inspite of being a bit more work ... maybe ... but now - I mod for new and they wont fit old ...
Order up ... when they gone - they gone.
They fit several other old school cans - D&D and yosh as well as the old wileyco. 3 bolt 8mm bolt dia, 80 mm bolt centers ... works like a charm.
Cool.

Received the flange few days ago and finally got to install in today. It was pretty easy to do. I did use the muffler tape at the end since it was bit loose fit. Test drove and it sounds great. I left the choker in there since I have K&N filter. I originally thought about rejetting but didn't lose the  power at all so I might keep it this way. Thanks again Srinath and hope you get well soon.
