I just got my CBT last week and bought my first bike - a Suzuki Intruder 125. I thought it sounded delicious but didn't realise the significance of "Screamin' eagle" written on the silencers. After deafening and giving everyone on my CBT a throbbing headache my instructor told me I needed to put the baffles in them or I would be pulled by the police. Tonight my ex took a look at the baffles that came with the bike and they aren't made by screamin eagle - they are sawn off ends of suzuki silencers. Anyway, we put them in and the decibel level definitely came down. We fastened them in with jubilee clips (yes I know, bit of a bodge but I wanted to go out) and off we went on my maiden post-CBT run out. Going up hill flat out, changed down and one of them shot out narrowly missing my ex who was riding behind me and only saved by lightening fast reflexes. We recovered the missile from the grass verge but this clearly isn't the solution. Can I do something with these silencers or do I have to ditch em and get some suzuki ones. Suggestions please???
Could try spot welding them if you know someone with a welder.
Im just putting one back together for my nephew his cans are shot as well. havnt looked at cost of new ones prob silly money being a wee twin
If that dont work try putting a bolt through not the prettiest solution but would stop them flying out
I took my nephews up the road the other day I forgot how much fun they are to ride. His has a bean can wraped round the can were the balance pipe used to be b4 it rusted away
prob best go for the welding as bolt will ruin its good looks
my nephews has seen better days and got him through his test he is now on a bandit. so if his wee sis aint interested he will prob sell it

How about trying ebay Minnie to see if you can pick up a cheep pair.
My Motad silencer originally came with a cone shaped baffle (Motad call it a "db eater") in the front of the can rather than the back, so it's completely out of sight. I have no idea what the SE system looks like on an Intruder, but would it be possible to fit something like that?

ROFLMHO
*Was that from years of practice at dodging frying pans?
Ha ha! could be Kwak ... some skills become second nature eh . The projectile also made a most impressive bouncing bomb. We were stunned by the distance it travelled after the first bounce in the centre of the road. Steve McQueen needed one of these in the great escape!
But very very lucky nothing / no one got in the way
