cool, I would like to keep the origional pipe and an origional looking muffler if possible.
I put this on a mates 490J and the whole setup meets the bolt holes on the J frame. The G pipe itself is longer in length than the J one. The J muffler has an additional resonator?? section as part of the muffler. So the lenght of the muffler front section that joins to the pipe is shorter on the G than the J. I guess any prospective buyers need to know if the bike has an origional G pipe not a substitute J one.
The pipe on this bike lived in a chook run for many years. I got the bike for a case of beer and the pipe was hanging off it full of feathers and shit. Its a bit rusty on the outside but seems solid enough. I would be interested in sending you the whole shebang for repair. Would you need it sand blasted first?
I had a couple of initial questions about the mufflers. I just want to do some flat track meets with the kids so I'm a bit worried about how quiet I need to get this so I dont get pinged at the track? I have another YZ490S with a pro-circuit pipe and muffler and it is bloody deafening. lol I realise you cant quieten them much but I had an 84 L model when they were new and I cant remember it being so loud with the standard muffler. Maybe when I was 20 they just sounded good.
I was contemplating using a spare J muffler and trying to cut that up to make one for the G. Is the one you make going to have a removable end cap so we can repack the thing every now and again but retain that origional look?
thanks for your time,
Stephen
