[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 22225, member: 59"] I have been in pursuit of the quiet Goldwing! My '81 engine had aftermarket Jardine exhaust which were a touch too loud for me. I bought a set of used OEM exhaust, but they had holes and fell apart in about a year. Swapped out the '81 engine to a real nice '83 engine and got a real good set of OEM exhaust from Dan that sounded great! But, alas, the fiberglass packing material is disintegrating and the pipes are getting louder again. Time to repack the muffler! I bought new packing material at my Dealer (believe it or not, they actually had it on sale!! CHEAP!) I finally decided today to pull the baffles and repack the beast. WELL, the baffles did not exactly have much left to them: [ATTACH type="full" alt="MVC-001F.JPG"]1459._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="MVC-002F.JPG"]1460._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="MVC-003F.JPG"]1461._xfImport[/ATTACH] I do not have a welding machine so fixing them by welding on new steel is not going to happen (besides, there isn't enough steel left to even tack weld something to). What to do???? Ebay doesn't have any GL1100 exhaust baffles alone without buying the whole system. BUT...I did find these on Ebay....replacement baffles for HD pipes: [url=https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220741330442&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT]https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWAX%3AIT[/url] They are for 2" OD pipes (which these are) and 1 7/8" ID and they are 8" long, same as what came out.[ATTACH type="full" alt="HD Baffles.jpg"]1462._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
