I struggled with this on my KTM , I chose a nice DG oval muffler only to find that even thou I was making the exhaust pipe once it cleared the shock movement It was 50mm higher than I wanted , It’s the one thing that piss me off more than anything on this build , I did think about moving the shock mount even. I guess that’s why the brackets and stuff look like shit I just felt beaten, I hope I can return thou.

I think the whole idea of the alloy mufflers is to get you a re-packable muffler and to add a bit of bling. Of course people restoring a bike to OEM specs is going to hunt down a original or make a replica of one. For people who just want to ride, these aftermarket ones are a lot more practical.

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.

Well its actually a close copy of a Bassett from 1978. Details are in the link i posted on the other page.

i made these mufflers to fit a stock RM just as suzuki made them,or they won't fit or melt the air box like alot of RM ABC s.black paint makes them look smaller.they are still loud but better than a NOS one i had on the bike.
