I am not familiar with these inserts. Are they called exhaust tip inserts? What size did you order to get the proper fit.

Another fabricating masterpiece for you Rob.

What a great website.

If I were to make and sell these, George, they would cost a fortune. Although after you make the first one, the others get a lot easier. I thought about going to a shop with CNC equipment and have them make the pieces and I could then sell them for riders to assemble. But I'm doubtful there would ever be enough demand. Now if I made them for Harleys, that would be a different story. But most of the Harley guys want short straight and loud pipes which is certainly not in the direction these take you.

Appreciate the comments guys. They are just really pretty baffles similar to what you can buy from EMGO. Although I'm not sure you can get them in this small a diameter to fit our pipes.

regards,
Rob

Got it.

I am a bit slow on the uptake. They tips you bought on ebay did not work so you fabricated those out of the stock aluminum.

Again, nice job.

Buyer beware

Check this out, gents. These are nothing more than the VW Beetle exhaust tips I was considering using on my bike. Only difference is these are twice the price of VW tips at NAPA or similar shop. One line these VW tips sell for $7.99 each.

Gotta love a merchant with a imagination.

He is an expert at using lots of glorious words to describe his items.
He has a certain wording style which ya can see in his offers and check his so-called feedback and ya will see the same style. ..............lm.
IMO he is a expert at deception.

He's a character. He purchased some parts from Skarnuth on ebay and gave him a neg. He was crying that he was ripped off!!!
