HI NOEL, just to let you know i,ve chopped your old silencer down this afternoon i bet its a SUPER power pipe NOW!!!! ITS PROBABLY shorter than your new 1 ,it just needs some heat proof black applying ,i could do with some more of them dodgy LONG silencers i,m getting quite good at chopping them all the best paul ,p.s this silencer would also fit a 350 2004 on hammond!!!!

Chopped it down prob just needed a big bar slamming through it but mr mot man might not approve . Did you find much in it?

They have a big spiral down the inside and it is very solid and I doubt ramming a bar down the inside would achieve much. No wonder they weigh as much as they do. I had thought about running a long drill down through the middle but even that would be difficult

noel & norm the silencer had 3 baffle tubes and 2 deflector plates 1 at each end i,m sure it,l be no louder than grunda RORT!!

Hi guys----------yes, have done the same with my LONG one (blush !!). As you say there are 3 "compartments" created by having 2 bulkheads ( sorry--Ex-Navy) and a total of 3 perforated pipes entering and leaving at off-set alignments. I took about 6" out of the rear section--just enough to bring the end of the tail-pipe inside the overall length of the bike. The VM28 breathes through a Tea Caddy & filter with all jetting at ---plus 10%--- just as a start point.( Actually is a tad weak mid-range as it tends to hunt when cruising ) Fuel is around 70 to 80 MPG overall and it sounds better than standard, with a nice "thump" at idling but is not raucous or anti-neighbour on full song. Alas, I don't have a chop saw etc so it was all done with masking tape, hacksaw and brazing. Well worth the effort though. I have some photos but how do you load them on here these days ?? GRUNDA---let's get mechanised on this and we could make a tidy penny ?? Be seeing you

And the 10 inch piece I cut out the missus stuck plastic flowere in and I think she called it an ornament or something, strange some women.

You see NORM, size doesn't matter after all !!

i,ve just been to the village and i,ve been offered another silencer by the real number 2 he wouldn,t let on who was number 1 but then again i,m 6 so could i realy be number 1 i now feel very confused,anyway the diesel is running excellent since the recent flywheel main just a mere inconvienience (£15) had some top beer at the reindeer tonight juan king had a black face after breathing my fumes ,remember take hull north sea ferries and your laughing !!!!

FFS too much qc to follow this thread will try tomorrow b4 qc time
