Re: R1200R Frankenstein Muffler Surgery part 3: Supertrapp

I've showed one solution, with a low price and good results. I'm done with this except for adjusting the number of discs, and do I toss the end cap. I like the sound without an end cap, and I like the look of a the discs mounted backwards and no end cap. Backwards discs hides some of the muffler int...

I believe the catalytic converter muffles things quite a bit.

Re: R1200R Frankenstein Muffler Surgery part 3: Supertrapp

Supertrapp makes an assortment of 2 1/4" inlet universal SS mufflers. Mine is the 24 inch, a 17 inch would slide right in, and be a few lbs lighter besides.

I don't listen to tunes, radio, audio books while riding. I listen to the motorcycle, the wind.

Re: R1200R Frankenstein Muffler Surgery part 2

I've had two offers for $100.00 for perfectly good, undamaged mufflers. Due to the guaranteed destruction of the muffler, coupled with a probability of failure, added to the cost of the Supertrapp, plus stainless steel welding that I need to farm out, my out-of-pocket cost is high. Your price is high.

R1200R Frankenstein Muffler Surgery part 2

Does anyone have an OEM R1200R muffler that has been run over by a truck, or been scraped up by an unplanned slide, or otherwise savaged by the laws of physics? I need the inlet pipe and the inlet portion of the muffler intact. Sell it to me for my Frankenstein Muffler mod.

Re: R1200R Frankenstein Muffler Surgery

I'd like to buy an OEM muffler at a reasonable price. I want to cut it open, gut it, and install tunable Supertrapp internals. Then make the tail end removable. I may fail at this. If I do fail, I'll cut the body off, leaving just the bent pipe that joins the header. I'd find a Supertrapp slip-on to...
