one options may be to take to a muffler shop and have them use a pipe expander to open them up, but will mess up the chrome.
Another is to cut a few slots in the opening and cut about 1/4 off the inlet to where the muffler widens. I have done that before on a V50

Hail Guzzisti,
Sorry I've been a stranger...Recently moved, new job, etc. Haven't ridden my ambo for a while. It needs some TLC. I did get new header pipes for it...it's a project in the works
The Loop List rules, so here goes:
I have an 850 T that I bought a couple of years ago. I just got some chrome header pipes from MG cycle for it, and I got a fantastic deal on some Bub muflers at mud spattered Mid Ohio last summer....one problem- the header pipes are a smaller diameter than the mufflers by about 1/8 to 1/4th of an inch...does anybody know of any source for adapters I can get to mate them together with? I checked JC Whitney on the advice of MG Cycle, but it doesn't look like they have anything like that. Any replies and or help is appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Noel McCormack
