Greg/Rob. I have a pair of chrome bell-mouth mufflers that were on my
Ambo.
They are in OK shape and are repackable. $50 for the pair. Bob

Greg,
Had a pair of those on my Ambo, they sounded cool, but they got
annoyingly loud with the fairing on once all the packing was removed.
Some percieved performance enhancement as well.

I spent some time trying to strike the right balance between getting
annoyed and going faster. Never got there.

But for $100 how can you stop yourself from trying?

Hi Tom,

Are these the one's you are reffering to?

If so, they look like they will mount right up without much trouble.
Have you tried them?

They look pretty good. And they are cheap enough.

Hey Skip, that is a great idea. I'll give you a call sometime to set
something up.

I've been thinking about that, too Skip. You are the King of
free-flowing pipes! (I had the pleasure of following Skip on his BSA
last Sunday - my ears rang :> ) I have an old ratty set here in the
garage that I just need to empty out and try.

The stock ambo torps really choke things down. I remember I had a
set

old ambo and I swapped them out for some open megs. Ran like a

Nope, no tach installed right now as I've got the single gauge dash.

any idea what the tach read? (I'm not suggesting you stare at your

I was in a bike shop the other day that had a poster from Bub
exhaust

salt

website

Armstrong when he landed on the moon and found tennis shoe tracks.
