Silencers?
« on: May 11, 2009, 04:36:36 PM »
Iv'e come across a pair of stanless steel silencers,however they are for a 85 onwards bmw,which i think is around 38mm bore(am i correct here?)as my LS is 35mm,i was wondering if you can buy any adaptors,or has anyone made any?

Beemer, post a pic of what you wind up with.  I have some monoshock mufflers/silencers up in the attic and I had not even thought of putting them on the LS but it really needs 'em...
