Loose baffle in original silencer
« on: May 15, 2022, 11:03:01 AM »
I would really like to keep my original Honda silencer however the baffle is loose and rattles. As far as I can tell it is only held on by a small remaining piece of metal, this is visible when looking down the pipe from the front, when off the bike of course. I think at the back it is probably completely detached. Does anyone have experience of a repair? Alternatively removal of the baffle??? Also, any experience of what happens if it falls off! Silver has the copies in at the moment but it wouldn't match the patina of the downpipes, so would probably lead me in the direction of replacing the whole lot. £££

Is this any good Steve as an alternative to DS it's made in the UK?

It's out of stock Ted, my guess is that these are the same silencers as DS stock. I think I'll bite the bullet and buy the DS one, before they go up in price yet again!
