Bryanj:
If that an original Marvin the chrome will last about 10 mins, had 4 replacement sytems back in the 70's and eventually gave up had them hot alloy sprayed and used VHT Sperex.

As i remember the baffle, if you can call it that, was held on by a long cap screw that went top to bottom wiyh a nut welded onto the bottom

Does the Marving have any type of baffle in it? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't want to deafen my neighbours.

captaindonutbikes:
it does come with a baffle but i have chosen not to run it for the mo. Looks 10 times better than the motad and same (ish) price

It includes fibreglass packing, a baffle and all the mounts. nice bit of kit.

give me a shout when you have your bike done i am a regular user of the M11 going up to Huntingdon.

cheers

Jim

lordwhimsey:
Thanks Jim,

I agree the Marving looks excellent. Unfortunately the coffers have been drained so my current plan is to weld up a collector for some old Motad headers and then experimentally fit one of the numerous old Harley silencers I've got lying around. It could end up looking really rubbish in which case I'll re-assess. ;D

I'll defo give you a shout when it's done, although it may be a while!

metalcatfish:
very very pretty.
