Sorry, but I couldn't locate a photo. My understanding is that they're like OEM with the exception the baffle is built into the muffler and not removable.

These are the Overlander mufflers. Great quality.

How 'right' you are. My Daytona T100T sported reverse-cones as did my brother's 1968 CB250. You could hear him from 2 miles away!

This is an old pic of one of my project C72s. It is unusual in that it had the crazy 'bug-eye' winkers but look at those meggas. It looks a heap but must've sounded fantastic.

Yep, what a sound! I get goose bumps thinking about how they made some bikes sound.....

FYI, and as a side dish here, those front winkers were Northern European market -- well, Germany and Norway, AFAIK -- where they had to conform to those countries' road regulations, being 'this' height and 'that' distance off-centreline.

A couple of riding buddys in the 60's had 650 Triumphs with open reverse cones and they were awesome sounding!

This site is worth a look...

Yes....if I could just weld stainless, I'd be in business!

I keep dreaming of a set of 4 of those on my 750/4!

It's not even hard to imagine a set on a Hawk, or even a staggered set on a Scrambler!

I had a pair of 'Dunstalls' on mine back in the 60's, but I always remember the 'Gold Star' style sounded better, there was a definite difference in sound.
