1973tr6 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just found out that spark arrestors are going to be mandatory soon here, Anyone any ideas about how to fit something like this to a clubfoot rear box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 In the land of rain? We have always had to have them. But we are more likely to have fire than rain. Get one of the ones from the us suppliers and just make an adapter to fit. The older us models were stamped spark arrestor, but were never approved. That might be your best bet, since it bolts on.

lbhbul Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Vic, the best bet would be to cut out the two pipes on the clubfoot and weld in a single outlet to accommodate an after market approved spark arrestor. With the reverse flow of the clubfoot , never seen any sparks, unlike the straight thru of modern bikes. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Actually Larry, you would weld one pipe over both existing pipes and then put a Cobra or similar. Back in the day we used Skyways. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261847625640?lpid=82&chn=ps Edited April 21, 2015 by lineaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1973tr6 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I didn't want to cut and weld on the stock exhaust if I could help it. Maybe I could get a banana exhaust with the single outlet and keep the clubfoot stock ??? Lineaway, what do the guys with stock clubfoot exhausts do in your area ?

saw miller Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 On one of my club feets. I guess it's club foots. Foots feets whatever. Also upside down. It has been one of those days! Tripp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 You could do this. Or if your club foot says spark arrestor like Saw Miller`s post your good. In the USA they officially have to be US forestry approved which costs lots of bucks for testing. (Bultaco tried just stamping them without the testing) So it depends how sensible a law it is. Should just need a mesh screen that meets being small enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
