billyt Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I needed a spark arrestor on my 2014 Repsol. Could not find one to just bolt onso to speak. I bought a stock cleanable spark arrestor and designed my own attachment.The exhaust end cap is riveted on so did not what to drill out the rivets.I had to be creative in mounting this so, had my friendly machine shop wizard make mean adapter that would go in one end of the spark arrestor and the other end intothe silencer opening. Nothing new or creative about that at all.But how I mounted it makes me chuckle. I soaked the adapter in liquid nitrogen warmedup the spark arrestor and pressed it in. I then started up the bike let the silencer getgood and warm re-dipped the spark arrestor (with the adapter pressed in to it) back inliquid nitrogen shrinking the adapter down and then slide it into the hot expandedsilencer opening.I hope I never have to take it off as it is in the for good. It will of course come offwith the end cap to re-pack when I drill out the rivets.The spark arrestor is black, turned white when frozen and then back to black once warmedback to ambient temps.It has also gave the bike a rasper snarl to it.Happy.....BillyT Edited May 10, 2014 by billyt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
