Well I put the exhaust on and found that the stock pipes hit the shifter. I
converted to a civilian, foot peg ,model. So I bent the pipe which gave me
about 3/8" clearance.

The brackets supplied with the Dunstall clones will work if they are hspaed,
bent at the correct angles. Bend the brackets so that the bottom holes on
the loop will line up with the top holes of the brackets.

The way to do this is take a sheet of aluminum foil and fold it three or
four times. Shape the folded foil in the shape of the bracket and bend it
in the shape needed to hold the muffler to the loop on the frame. Now you
have a pattern to follow when you bend the bracket.

NOTE: Make sure you leave enough clearance between the upper and lower holes
on the frame.

Will they bolt on or do I need some sort of adapters or brackets?

Ted:

You could have a blockage in one or both mufflers that's causing excessive
back pressure if they're that deteriorated. Sounds like you need a new set
regardless.

I got my transmission back in again (!) and my distributor back
in with new points and yet another new condensor (just in case).
Clutch is working great, but bike still won't run worth a crap.

One thing that is weird, I have stock mufflers ('74 eldo) and
both mufflers have recently begin crapping out their internals.
The little round pipes are sticking out of the pea holes at the
end of the mufflers, one sticks out about 2 inches and is
completely loose on the inside.

Is there anything I can do about this or are the mufflers just
shot? This wouldn't cause the bike to run badly would it?
