Muffler Recommendation?

[Marcus]

Hi all,
Recently bought a 1978 R60/7.
It came with straight pipes.
Its a bit silly how loud it is.
Any recommendations on aftermarket mufflers?
Looking for something with a nice throaty tone.
Thanks for any comments.

Why not go with the SS copies of the quiet original mufflers?

Thanks for the ideas guys, much appreciated.
Thinking of trying this budget model out.
If they suck I can move onto something else.

More than likely you will be able to see straight through those, with a little baffling around the outside.
I doubt you will get the "nice throaty tone" you are hoping for.
You will still be alienating your neighbors.

Hey Rob, thanks for the input and checking out my link.

There's a Harley across the street form me and my next door neighbor has a Yamaha with straight pipes ...so my block is already loud with bikes...no worries there. Mostly looking for my own satisfaction. Maybe it's silly to spend $150 on a pipe with barely any baffling. Perhaps I will shop around more.

Cheers

I bought a similar set for a CB200 I was going to cafe. I was greatly disappointed when the arrived and saw you could drop an object straight through.

The problem I have with it is that stainless steel will turn kind of brown. If a person is OK with the coloration SS would be the best choice.

Ken, you exist! We were wondering. I wandered through your area with nary a peep a few months ago.

Here is hoping that you are well and busy.
