I've been thinking about exhaust for a
long time. I never liked the big stock mufflers on my BMW. That may be why many of my "
Inspiration" posts have been about intriguing exhaust setups.
During the disassembly, I mentioned how the handlebar mounts (above) were my inspiration for everything, so you can probably understand why the Triumph exhaust below piqued my interest. It has the exact same shape I love from the handlebar mount.

I found a set on Craigslist and my brother happened to be near them so he picked them up for me. He even negotiated the priced down to $45. I believe they are original parts from a late 60s bike and they are made of heavy gauge steel. They are also in shockingly good shape.

These mufflers don't look like they're going to do much muffling. |
The most amazing part about the mufflers is that they slide right onto my stock header pipes! I don't know if most motorcycles use the same diameter pipes, but these two did, making my life a lot easier.

There will definitely be some customization to this setup, but I'm not exactly sure what the final product will look like, so stay tuned.
