Author Message   Orman1649 Posted on Monday, February 02, 2009 - 10:38 am:        I posted in the Knowledge Vault about 2 weeks ago and only one person has responded.....reposting here to see if anyone has any more ideas. Really want to try to save this one vs trying to find another. Thanks! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/429960.html?1233120862 As you can see below, I have a few minor issues with my muffler. I bought the bike at the beginning of the summer figuring I could do this kinda stuff once it got crappy outside. I figure I can weld up the holes and tab back on without too much of a headache....although I just moved and the 220 outlet I have access to is the wrong one for my welder. I'll have to make a little converter/jumper cable I guess. My big question though is...I thought there was supposed to be a mesh screen inside for the packing to slide over. I got a repack kit but I'm thinking it's going to be useless w/o the screen. Any ideas on that? Buy some mesh and form it then weld it to the tube in the muffler? The tube is only a couple inches long. Is it worth the hassle? The can is fairly beat up but I don't think I will have a very easy time finding one and I'm sure it will be way more than I want to spend. Pic of the can w/the exit endcap removed Exit end where the cap rattled for who knows how long. The holes are toasted Busted ear Short tube inside the can....mesh screen MIA...is there supposed to be one?   Captainkirk Posted on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 12:08 am:        No screen. I posted a while back in the KV about repacking the race can in detail. All that's inside is a perf tube and fiberglass. Let me know if you can't find it.
