Greg,
I have the same mufflers on mine. They are quiet enough that you certainly
do hear the valve noise. You should check your valves periodically to be
sure they are in proper adjustment, but I wouldn't be too concerned by the
clatter. If you are a rallygoer, or if you hang with any other loopframe
riders, listen to the valve noise from their bikes and compare it with yours
to see if there is a noticeable difference.
D.J.

After replacing the front break cable the bike finally stops an order of magnitude better than the old 57 triumph the bike replaced. I also fixed a few optional pieces of equipment like the speedo by replacing the drive cable. Best of all the old cheap and loud mufflers are replaced with wonderful stainless peashooters. This last improvement has opened a few concerns though. Now that I will actually be able to hear a difference when the exhaust header nut falls out (although I have frame clamps so this won't be an issue any more) there are a lot of new noises. Over the carb noise caused by the K&N filters you can now hear valve noise and gear noise. I assume the gear noise is from the timing gears and being strait cut should be rather noisy but what is a "Normal" amount of valve noise. I should adjust the tappets but if these motors are typically ticky I don't want to tear into them. Thanks in advance, Greg 69 Ambo P.S. Not only does the bike run better with the new mufflers but also I can now hear the girls scream as I ride by :) ============================================================ How do you want to save today? 29 ways to save big bucks on stuff you want - FREE. http://click.topica.com/caaacgDb1dfltb2CdEAf/TopOffers ============================================================ |
