stock mufflersAltho the stock mufflers are pretty rusty along the bottoms , I think I will see if the stockers will do me for a while, shame to put new shiny pipes on this old "barn find" ! Besides , I haven't been on a bike in 40 yrs , it may just scare the whee out of me these days !If it does , I will either sell the bike as a crusty runner , or just put it in my living room and look at it ! If I love it , next winter I will take it apart for a refurbish and continue to enjoy it ! If I decide to sell the pipes , I will mention it here first.Promise !
Re: stock mufflersAs I am thoroughly smitten with this addiction, I would be an interested potential buyer for your rusty runner in the future. I think she's a beaut as she sits now. I live about 2.5 hours from you, just northeast of Dallas, and I come to OKCity on occasion for business. If you're agreeable, maybe we can arrange a visit sometime and swap bike stories over a cold drink. Or maybe a hot drink, as you know what the weather has been like lately! Good luck, and remember "progress...not perfection." Trust, but verify. -Ronald Reagan

thanks !I kinda like it as it sits also. the new mufflers are earmarked to be used if it runs badly or is nasty sounding with the stockers , at least this year , I think. P.O. rattle-canned it black some time ago , so I'm going with satin black with pinstripes for now ! If it turns out I love it , may go back to red next winter,,,,,,,maybe.
Re: Emco/Dunstal mufflersCorrect tire size is 3.25-16 front and rear. Those sizes are out there but a little hard to find, and the WW's are expensive when you do find them. I don't think those shinkos come in the right size. 3.50 will work, and I think Scrambler Cycle, a member here, has those. 66 dream, 78 cb750k, 02fz1, 09 wing
