175a sloper baffle?

[Arch stanton]

Hello fellow members.
I have just been out for a run on my Sloper. First time it's been out in a couple of years. Great little bike.
But unfortunately. I have lost a Baffle from the oem exhausts.
I don't suppose there are any fellow members, who may have a spare baffle they would be willing to sell. Would there?
Yours living in hope.
Sean.

At least you still got one to copy!

It's not listed as a separate item in any of my sloper parts books but the silencer is the same as the CD125A sloper, which lists it as a C100 etc -001- part.

Hate having to recommend this thieving b*sta*rd near me for one but he has them and, for once in his life not too bad a price. Can't guarantee they will fit but nearly sure. I can measure or sketch a NOS sloper one I have if you like to ask him to compare (not for sale though as off my NOS sloper silencer).

Hello Ash.
I rather thought you would come up with something.
And indeed you have.
I thought as Bryan suggested. I w.ould have to get one made.
I never thought they could be used on other models. I dont really understand why Honda fitted removable baffles in a 4 stroke exhaust in the first place.
Anyway. Armed with the info you have given me. I searched ebay.
There appears to be loads of baffles that should fit. Certainly cheap enough to take a gamble on.
I must say, my heart sank when I noticed the baffle missing.
Thankfully not such a disaster after all.
Thank you to Ash & Bryan.

Have you driven round to look for it at all? ( I still check the verges near Cat and Fiddle for the side panel I lost 35 years ago)!

[AshimotoK0]

Different regions have different arrangements. e.g the UK model SS125A had non-removable baffles but the JDM one had a removable one.
I have to say though that I much prefer the removable ones because when it comes to re-chroming a lot of places do a flow test with water ...i.e fill the exhaust with water and measure the time to drain. If it takes any more than a couple of seconds they refuse to take the job on. Obviously, taking the baffle out vastly increases the flow-rate in most cases.

Just a quick update.
I bought the baffle off ebay. Nut unfortunately it will not fit.
As it is 30mm too long & 25mm wide rather than the 23mm of the original. The search continues.

But could it be modified?

[Arch stanton]

I don't think there would be anything left of the collar if turned down
By 2mm.

Is that one from the link I sent to eBay guy in Hull ?.. Stevesvintagespares? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255988586298....If so it's supposed to a C100 one...  which should deffo fit.

If you are desperate I can send you one of my NOS spares and just look around for a replacement sometime for me.

I was thinking more of cutting the end off and welding on a new piece of tube

Hello Ash.
Yes It is the one from Steve's spares. But as previously stated.
It is too long & too large a diameter. Yes the length could be cut down.
But the main body of the baffle is too big fit into the silencer. That's before we get to the end collar where the fixing screw is. That is even larger diameter.
Why after 30 years of ownership the baffle should fall out, us beyond me. But I'm really pee,d about it. It's loss has spoilt a lovely little tidy bike.
I am touched by your kind offer of a replacement. And the present availability situation appears to leave me no alternative but to accept.
Please let me know your price.
And if I can find a replacement. I will of course forward it on to you.
Sean.
