Valtek Mufflers

[Groover]

I'm considering the Valtek Mufflers Harper's sells for my G5. There doesn't seem to be much information on these pipes even thought it appears they've been around for a while. I understand the sound is lower/deeper, which is my preference. Sound clips are nil out there and so are decent photos of these mounted on a Tonti frame (I would like to see how they look from behind), but what's the performance on these? Would I need to re-je the carbs, or can these just be slipped on a stock V1000 engine and go safely?

Any more info information (visual or audio a plus) would be great!

Thanks!

Not normally,  Unless your bike has some bizarre rejetting done in the past. 

We are always glad to help our customers with installation questions and answers

 What Fotoguzzi said, very well made, nice chrome ,fit right on. I had them on a 850-T, nice sound.

Thanks guys, this is exactly the information I was looking for. I think my jetting is stock, so I should be good. Fotguzzi, thanks for the ride around the block! That bike looks and sounds great, I see why you miss it. The Silver one ('81? convert?) looks like you have some sort of rubber tube on the right side peg of the center stand? Is it hitting the pipes? Also, how often (if any) do you have to repack these?

Also, can the rear axle be removed without taking the pipes off?

Thanks again, I'm almost sold.... If money were no object :D they'd be at my door already!

I am going to hang on to mine.

Would like to know if those mufflers allow the rear wheel to be removed.

Lateness.

"Would like to know if those mufflers allow the rear wheel to be removed."



Most of the time, Mainly depends on your specific bike because the mufflers fit several models of tonti frame bikes.

I have them on two of my bikes (Cal II's) and they both clear the axle. In case they don't it is easy to just pull out the mount bolt from the rear foot peg area and the muffler should sag enough to remove the axle with pulling it all the way off.

They look and sound great....do they fit a Cali III?   Do they need a hanger?  Any figment issues?  Thank you.

[Mike Harper]

I am not sure about the Cal III

They mount on more of a slope than regular Tonti frame bikes

Suggest you call Curtis tomorrow am and ask him
