DT400B Twin Shock Silencer was created by Jammyyammy

Hi,
My silencer / baffle is the ‘old type’ (small pipe outlet) shown in the attached partzilla diagram.
There is no sound deadening material inside the silencer / baffle at the moment.
How does it fit? Do I just line the inside of the silencer / baffle with it? How does it fit in place without collapsing?
Is it obvious how it fits?



 

Is there a video to watch?
Thanks

If you have the short baffle (marked on the diagram as "old type"), then you cannot repack the silencer, unless you would like to cut it open at the welds. If you had the "long baffle" you could repack that quite easily. Maybe some of the elder statesmen of the forum could tell us what year bikes had the long baffle. I know that my 75s have the short baffle.

Hi - thanks for the info. Mine is a 1975 also.
I presume long baffles are near impossible to buy? Do the long baffles open up somehow to fit the packing material inside?

Long baffle fit into it's own special housing. You would have to find the whole assembly. Short baffle exists because "long" part is now permanently welded inside of 1975/76 silencer housing.

Bit of a long shot here….., probably too long….., but has anyone ‘converted’ the ‘old type’ of silencer/baffle for a DT400B twin-shock into the ‘new type’, so that it can be packed with sound deadening material?
I presume something could be made (steel tube, bit of welding/cutting) and inserted into the existing ‘can’ ?
The problem is that I don’t know what the finished article would look like, so don’t really know where to start on this one. Any ideas???
