Set out to mod some Bonnie T100 mufflers at the weekend by removing the little peashooter pipe. Did this on a work bench and, luckily, I bought a pair of stock mufflers on ebay. So at least I'm still on the road. (The idea being to retain a legit pair for when the bike needed to pass its MOT noise test.)
First muffler no problem. Second one, drilled out the initial flange with a 1.25 inch hole drill and tapped hard, only to have the entire peashooter pipe, and what looked like the inside metal skin of the last six inches of the muffler, slide backwards an inch or more and stick there.
I've managed to pull the little peashooter pipe forward to where it should be, but the metal inner skin now refuses to move at all and I'm unable to extract all the fibre glass wadding wrapped around the peashooter pipe, largely because one half of the drilled out flange (on the peashooter) is visible and the other half (still attached to the slipped metal inner skin of the main exhaust) is a good inch behind this!
The peashooter pipe will revolve and shift about a quarter of an inch backward and forwards, but that's it... Any suggestions gratefully received.
