just to mess with any of you purists...I cut off the mufflers and installed 4 individual baffles. Just an fyi and not that it really matters but Ive taken close to 30 lbs of crap off this bike. I will post new pics tomorrow if anybody here is actually interested.

I'll get some pics up tonight...wife is out till 7 and the kids can't fend for themselves quite yet. I am running some Ebay special standard 54mm pod filters. The #1 and #4 would not fit between the frame and carb so they are squished a bit...would matter if I gave a crap about this bike looking perfect. Sometime this weekend I'm going to pop the tops off the carbs and slide a couple washers up in there and see if the off idle response gets better as well.

That looks cool. I agree with you though..The blue frame does have to go.  |

well...the 750 pick up fell through. The wife found out I was sneaking another bike into the mix and couldnt understand it was 100 bucks and only for parts. It didnt help my cause that it's her birthday in two weeks and she knows money is a little short right now... anywho- I'll spend some time in the garage tonight to try to mount my little fairing on there for now... I also have a decent oil leak coming from the oil pump cover area. I opened it up and couldn't really tell where the leak was actually coming from...I think I am going to take the cover off and run it to see ( as long as I can remove it w/out taking the pipes off) I will post a pic of the fairing once it's on.

What are these baffles? I have an 83 550 and I would very much like to get rid of the huge ass cone mufflers in favor of something compact and light.

I sold the darkhawk a few months ago... the baffles were ebay baffles. I had the mufflers for sale or trade on here for a while and no one bit, so off with their heads! LOL it's just motorcycles y'all. They are not fossil fragments indicative of human life a million years ago. Have fun and safe cycling everyone!

Enjoying your progress. if you were nearby, I'd let you play with my 650. Maybe you could make it run.
