Aftermarket spark arrestors are available. They slip into the tip of the muffler and you can drill/rivet or set with a screw. Amazon has the Yoshimura TEC-SB-B for $30 that looks like it will fit, but they show no dimensions. Templar's exhaust pipe has a fairly narrow tip diameter. You may have to replace the cannister to install a spark arrestor, depending on what you end up getting.

But you know, these bikes do have a catalytic converter in the headpipe region. I think that would provide pretty effective spark arrestor function.

If that's true, then you could remove the cannister and stamp "spark arrestor" on the tip
