 If those are true OEM they will work fine , and the price isn't all that high .

On Friday I received a pair of these from MG Cycle for my 72 Eldorado. I had the small hole original style mufflers but I just didn't think they look as good as these slash back LaFranconi's

I have started to install them (in the midst of reassembling the bike after pulling the transmission to fix a leak) and so far I am having difficult getting the header pipes to seat deep enough into the mufflers.

I need to 'play' with the set up, may have to trim the length of the headers by an inch +/-.

Regardless I think they look great and am looking forward to how they sound.

Have a set on my 73 Eldo and I'm very pleased with them.Thought they were a little quiet and restrictive though,so I removed the little end baffles and now it has a nice mellow sound !!!

I have a pair of la Franconis and brackets that are original equipment for a Ducati 750gt. Not perfect condition but definitely acceptable. They were on my '70 Ambo when I bought it. There's no crossover pipe (I've been assured that it's better to have a crossover by some and that it makes no difference from others) and they're not nearly as loud and Harley-like as the Mistrals which replaced them. I went with the mistrals because I didn't like the cigar shape of the la Franconis...and paid dearly for that preference. I'd be happy to send them to you for considerably less than a new pair of slash back la Franconis. Here's some pics:

A customer's '74 Eldo had the same Ducati mufflers on it.

I remember that bike. Sad story...
