Re: '76 cb360 cafe
so then the cutting began. cut the head pipe flange part so it bolts to the engine the same. the pipe was triple walled. nick cut the outer most layer only to sleeve the new exhaust pipes on to.
started with some 90s out of the head
then the sweep under the frame of the bike
nick gave me this half of his old exhaust from his cb550. only needed it for the coupler mostly.
s-bend to the coupler
roughly what she'll look like
mock up of the muffler. i used a piece of 2.5" i had laying around
welded together
on to baffle making time. took some gutter mesh, rolled it up and welded two 1.5" pieces on the ends to hold it together
used a hole-saw and cut out an end piece for the baffle, then welded a nut to it to mount it inside the muffler and it can be removed if re-packing is needed.
wrapped with some fiberglass scraps from nick. held together with SS cable ties
baffle in muffler
rolled it out to the street for a quick start up. has the same kind of tone, just more quieter. much nicer
tomorrow i will grind the welds down, paint the exhaust with some heat paint and then wrap it. more pics when that is complete/ possibly a video.
