Title: WG and JRT Come Thru In The Pinch
Post by: Dave Swanson on May 04, 2026, 07:02:52 PM

The baffles were completely rotted out of the HDM's original mufflers. I had knocked the rusty remnants of the baffles out to eliminate the rattles. I did not care for how loud the mufflers were, nor the popping on decel due to the lack of back pressure.

I put out the word that I was looking for a set of stock EV mufflers in the Classifieds section.  jrt - Jason happened to have a solid set of mufflers sitting in a corner and offered them for free.  I just got them today.   I gave the internals a good dousing with Boeshield in the attempt to prolong the life of the baffles. Then gave the mufflers a good polish, installed them, and went for a spin. They look great, sound great, and the snap crackle pop on decel is gone.  A nice improvement for the old girl.

Thanks a bunch Jason, and thanks to WildGuzzi for enabling it to happen!

I can resemble that :thumb:. I was wanting lower frame rails to swap my wife's 01 EV from boards to pegs. One week in the classified and elrealistico sent me a complete set. All I had to pay was shipping. Then, another member was needing the boards so I paid it forward with the same deal.

I love that we all help each other with this type of stuff. With such rare birds on the road, it's almost a necessity to have each others back and not worry so much about the money as much as helping others stay riding.

It was a team effort by a number of folks.  A suitable tire had to be found, and the Corvette trip to get it back to CV was a big part of it. 

After we had chastised Bob so much about not riding back on his bald tire, we just couldn't cast him to the wolves.   :grin:
