Hitchcocks Forum

Hi I ordered this:

http://accessories.hitchcocksmotorcycle ... arts/33331

PART No. USED1802

91050 SILENCER TO CLEAR

Price: £35.00 (Excl. VAT)

Price: £42.00 (Incl. VAT)


It is only 46 quid including shipping and I dont mind the dent, I read that the indian made short exhaust has a nice sound, the longer pipe to go with it is not available but I figure I will probably be able to sort out a bit of stainless tube to extend the original with a couple of clamps if I need to until it is. I currently have the long stock exhaust on my 93 indian made Bullet 500 but all the chrome is flaking off in places and it came from the previous owner covered in scratches like someone had taken a wire brush to it.



I have the hitchcocks original style Indian made chrome airbox and the stock Micarb, do you think the carb will need to be rejetted for that muffler?

cheers Graham

Check the table at the top of this page:

There are companies on ebay who will make you a stainless link pipe with pretty much any diameter at each end.

Cheers it looks like I will need some new jets then, I take it without rejetting it will run lean, and backfire and pop instead of pulling properly.

I've just put one of these on the Ebay Bullet and it is quite quiet so l'd guess it has plenty of back pressure maybe not needing rejetting? REgards, Mark

I might be wrong but I get the feeling my bike is running very rich already, it has never ran at all with the choke on and dies with that straight away and the plug was black when I last checked. I find the choke just sometimes helps put some life into it if I am having trouble starting and as soon as i hear the engine try to fire up I turn it off and it normally starts on the next kick with a bit of throttle. when I bought the bike it had a cone air filter on which I have swapped back to the more original style airbox from hitchcocks . I will just have to see how it runs with the new exhaust and rejet if I need to.

Just a thought, but have you checked what jetting is in there now? If it came with a cone filter, it might already have a different jet and slide fitted?

I put one of these on my Enfield 350 bullet from 2001. Initially it was jetted as standard, the plug insulator tip was looking a little white. Nothing catastrophic; but I rejetted accordingly to Hitchocks' table, and now the plug is slightly grey, which I gather is healthier. The noise is just right I think: a satisfying thump without being offensively loud.

For the downpipe, I used royalenfieldking.com. It was cheap, however, the chrome wasn't that great and after a winter's riding started pitting. I put some high temp lacquer on it which has put a halt to the corrosion. I believe our hosts can also sell you a suitable downpipe that may be better quality.

Well the short exhaust silencer has arrived and I am impressed with it, it is not the one in the picture and the dent is not as noticable and I dont think it will even show when the exhaust is fitted. I have now realised that I better get the front pipe to go with it as it has two brackets welded to it to bolt to the frame. The original silencer has two bolt brackets so the pipe needs to be longer and have a bracket to fit. Our hosts don't have the longer pipe available anymore but I have found one seller on ebay in India that sells it so have ordered from there.
