Fuel Exhaust Q

[Manguish]

Just recieved this today with "removable" baffle.

I guess it's this bit :

So to remove it i drill out this yes?

So to refit i just bolt it back in i guess?

Let me know if i'm being daft here as i can't see anything that looks baffleish ;)

are you sure it's supposed to be removable?? the removable baffle on our fuel exhaust had a bolt rather than a rivet thingy. maybe they send you the wrong one (i think the budget exhausts they do have rivets).

Said it was removeable in the description.

Hmm - i might email them - may be easier :(

just had a quick look at their website and it says the budget cans have a removable baffle which is secured with a stainless steel rivet, so i suppose technically it is removable.

[Manguish]

Ah - cheers Sarah.

Spose i can replace it with a stainless button head allen bolt - would look ok ;)

Yep, the budget ones are riveted. just replace with an short M6 bolt and you're sorted (why you'd want to replace it other than for MOT though?).

I have to say the baffle on that looks a lot less restrictive (read open) than the one I had on mine, other than that the budget doesn't look much different to the standard IMHO.

Did you get your free Kendal Mint Cake?

[Manguish]

Yeah - awesome touch i thought.

Quality is really good. Apart from the rivet it looks v. similar to those i have seen elsewhere - i'll put some more pics if anyone wants them close up to have a gander at quality...

[sarah]

i forgot to say, as others have said before, the easiest way to remove the baffle (after removing the rivet/bolt) is to (carefully) shove a broom handle (or similar) through the exhaust before fitting it

[kwak zzr]

yep thats the way KNOCK it out!:)

[Baph]

Just to confirm what others have said really, but yes, drill, knock, then fit :)

The fuel can I got has no possibility of fitting a baffle :( so it's off the bike & she's getting a scorpion high level :D

[Filipe M.]

Oooohh... tempting...

[Manguish]

Awesome quality for a bargain price imo.

I will put up some on bike pics after this weekend hopefully ;)
