I just installed these brand new "Cocktail Shaker" mufflers, and they sound great! Deep, powerful sound with a great staccato when you let off of the throttle...but...these old ears of mine just can't handle it anymore, so my loss is your gain.

I just bought them new on Ebay for $90 plus shipping. I'll sell them for $80 with FREE shipping!



They have been drilled to accept the stock muffler hanger from an '81/H.


(muffler hanger not included)

and they have the adapter to connect into the inner pipe of a stock double walled header pipe.

PayPal accepted. PM for details.

Can you put up a video so we can hear? I'm kind of torn between the cocktail shaker and the pea shooters. What do you think you'll get? I've got a bit of hearing damage myself from driving firetrucks all these years.

pumps,

Well, I reinstalled my extra long (27") EMGO reverse cones and I like them better. I really liked the sound of the "Cocktail Shakers", with their throaty deep power pulses, but my ears hurt after a day of riding.

Here is a video of the "Cocktail Shakers" but it doesn't really do them justice because of the concrete floor.



All I can say is that if you are looking for that deep power sound, then these are the mufflers for you, but they are loud!!

I'm probably like you in that my ears would hurt too. My HD buddys with drag pipes are too loud for me.
