    Previous to welding it out, I put some secret "batting" in it to muffle it some. I cut the original mounting tab off the bike and what was left of the muffler. Then I welded it on. It is not the prettiest thing, by any means.

    I put some gas in the tank, so far no leaks!

    Fired it up, it is no longer loud, sounds pretty close to stock. I did not want to rev it way up since it was like 8:30 when I finished it. I'll throw some paint on it and it should be good.

    So, Well I guess you could do it that way....

    welding to gas tanks is not scary.... just empty it and clean it out with water.

    cut out parts of what you need




    relocate parts



    weld





    gas tank putty just for insurance



    done
