Bazza has asked me to post the photo below. RMS Engineering in Auckland are making the neat mufflers shown. No other information is available but you cam PM Baz or maybe he can add some more info here......

One thing I don't like with the RM125A/B is the way the stock muffler doesn't follow the frame angles it sort of droops down and spoils the lines..it's not as though I'm picking on these NZ jobs which look ultra flash but unfortunately still droopy I maybe picky but it gave me the shits so much I re-bent the stinger on mine so as the muffler runs parallel with the frame tube. It maybe how they come from the factory but it looks wrong and only seems to apply to the 125's.

I agree with you 100% there Doc......just looks crapola.

You know, for the life of me, I don't why someone can't start making original replica's.  Once I make a dye to form the tin it'll be a piece of piss to weld it up and paint it black.  Half the allure of an original bike are those stock mufflers.  Once I've knocked a couple up I'll post the pics.

I have been told that the XT500 mufflers made new in NZ dont look right aswell (they should try and make a good copy) I say
Nothing worse than that DROOPee look doc

Just does'nt look right does it?.

cheers Dale.

The GMC one is straight and it wouldnt take much to have those alloy jobbies (which look horn) fixed up ....redo that bracket.

Totally agree with you John and with Chris regarding the angle of the damn muffler  .
I often walk up to my bike and stare at the muffler and love the look of it...BUT....that bloody angle just pisses me off.
I just accept thats what Suzuki gave us and i sleep better after that.

Cheers Mario

That is a sweet C Mario In regards to the muffler, I found I was losing too much sleep because of it, the drugs had stopped working and I just had to rectify things to save myself

I can think of one good reason....they don't pass strict modern noise regulations. What's the point of replicating something that can't be used on a race bike?

Even the RCM one is down a bit, but i know if you actually ask and mention it, he will consider making it just how you like though. I would guess there is a reason why a lot of them angle down though. It does look close at the back.

I'm with you Doc....things like that just eat away at you...and your right Firko, too loud and the packing lasts about 20 minutes.

And what percentage of restored motocrossers are raced.

That picture shows just how easy it would be to correct LW, and that muffler does absolutly nothing for me, looks like a chinka replicka .....shit thats a scary thought....people copying chinka's...it will probably happen too one day.
