I broke down and bought it as my existing muffler was falling apart.
It fit pretty easily but I needed to drill another hole in the rear mounting tab on the muffler and the front mount did not line up so I fabricated a simple bracket.
Heres the problem.
The new muffler does not have a sealing gasket and I can't remove the old one without destroying it. Right now I have it sealed with a couple of wraps of Gorilla tape. I don't know if that will last or not... probably not so I need to order a new gasket.
The part numbers and prices for the '84 (my bike) and the '86 (the muffler) are not the same. Which should I get? I'm leaning towards the '86.
A nice bonus is it cured my off idle flat spot. I thought it was a carb issue but all the holes in the muffler must have been making it run off a tad. It sounds better too leading me to blieve my old muffler was rotted on the inside as well as the outside.
