Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fewman" data-source="post: 22607" data-attributes="member: 914">When I did my teardowm this winter, I pulled the exhaust and cleaned 'er all up, paint, etc. I bought my ride new in '75 and I know for a fact that the baffles were never pulled. Man, was that a bi :sensored: ch to get them loose, but I did. One side came out pretty easy and the other was a chore. Turns out the original packing on the side that came out easy still had the "string" wrapped around the packing; the other side the string was in pieces and the packing expanded. The packing is reusable and the original "string wrapping" (kinda looks like 40lb test braided fishing line) must have been made out of krypto-unobtainium :smilie_happy: , as it survived how many years.....Anyway, just use string around the packing to reinstall. I installed my baffles without packing just to hear what it sounds like...</blockquote>
