Tom,
I installed the JCW reverse cone kinda Dunstall looking units last year.
Not sure if these are what you have or not. I found them too loud for
my taste (especially if the fairing was on). I eventually found a used
set of OE mufflers at Mid-Ohio that I am currently using (on Charlies
advice). They cost $35 - $45 and look like it, but they sound ok and
they're easier on my eardrums.

After many year$ of dinking around with the Eldo I finally got it together. I have been biting at the bit all day at work. Just waiting to get home and throw some gas in it and hit the starter button. Well I did and the thing ROARED to life. The Dunstall mufflers clones I got look like Dunstall but sound like straight pipes. My neighbor, the old girl, was sitting on her patio with her little FiFi like dog on her lap. When I awakened the beast inside the Eldo the dog flew off the old lady's lap hit the table spelled a pitcher of some sort of drink everywhere. The dog was gone. The sweet little old lady just about fell over in her chair. I couldn't help but start laughing. A little later she came over and in that sweet little old lady voice says" kinda loud isn't Dear?" So needless to say the mufflers just plain SUCK. No baffling at all. I may have recommended the original Dunstalls in the past but now I have to take that back. The bike sounds terrible with these on them. My T3 sounded great with the original Dunstalls. Maybe it was the crossover? Don't know. So I now have to find something that will actually muffle the exhaust. I know somewhere in there is a sweet Italian voice. Tom in Boston |
