At the risk of swimming against the current, is there anything available that would be trim some bark off a 535? I’m running a Motad which is not far removed from a wide spot in an open pipe, and, while it is pretty civilized at small throttle openings, gets overwhelmed once you’re ‘in it’.
It seems to me that you’d need a lot of interior volume to absorb the pulse. The stock muffler is fine with me acoustically, but weighs a lot and the back pressure just isn’t a good thing for the exhaust valve, plus it runs rich with a Stage 1 setup. I’d try modifying it but I prefer to keep it available in case the authorities decide to get into testing for catalysts.
I’m not worried about what it looks like. Something like the old Brooklands fishtail would be not too far out of place. Any suggestions?
