klr muffler replacement ??

[spike55_bmw]

My only comment is that you should not modify / destroy the stock muffler. Save it to re-install when you sell the bike or sell the muffler out-right in stock condition. Many of us appreciate quite exhaust systems both as the bystander and as the rider. Might be an old age thing but I'm not trying to get anyone to look at / notice me - don't give a crap about them. And when on the forest roads, I want to catch people, deer, bear, turkey, etc unawares (25 mph). SSM! (Save Stock Mufflers) Don R100, A6F
