End Cans

[rf9rider]

Ive had my orginal end cans welded, but now i can hear bits rattling inside which i presume is bits of rust.
If i drill the rivets and remove the end caps, are the insides/baffles removable?

Will i find packing and wadding stuff inside there?

They won't come apart until you cut the welds on the end of the cans next to the outlets .  :shock:

These have been cut off already.

Just wondered if anyone had the end cans apart and what i could expect?

I`ll just probably go ahead and see for myself.  :lol:

maybe there's a genie in there :o

a long baffle tube with a plate welded over the end at the other end of the can .........................and the genie  

[rf9rider]

Well, i removed the end cap, and found the plate welded, nothing to remove.
At least i can respray it now with the cap removed.

And no Genie.

The Genie in mine escaped through the holes drilled by some Cordless Drillus Muppetus, he wouldn't have such a lucky escape if I got my hands on him  :x

Not guilty M'lud  :P

I am the fifth owner, I happened to meet up with the second owner and he told me it was like that when he got it  :roll: .

How could you do that to a new bike  :shock: see my Steamer rebuild thread for more horrors.
