Thanks for the additional info; per your info they're probably
Ramflo, now that you mention it I believe that they're stainless. The
bike looked like it sat around for several years before I got it about 3
years ago and tore into it, and me and the bike are in Ohio. I sure
like the way they work, and the sound is impressive without being obnoxious.

| John, As a matter of additional info on these muffs.......if you know that they were a recent purchase, say within the last 5 years or so, then they are probably Valtek's. However, as I recall, those Valtek's were copies of a muff made by a company by the name of Ramflo, who made a stainless steel muffler of that design. My recollection is that Ramflo was located in Ohio, and they had a fire in their facility a number of years ago and afterwards just closed up shop. Guys like Jack Arnold will remember all this. So, long story short, if these muffs are older, they could be Ramflo. If they are recent vintage, they are probably Valtek.

If I had to buy some I'd probably go with the same ones, though. They do sound great, seem to flow well and aren't rusted out from sitting for several years. |
