This winter I've been working on multiple motorcycle projects and I'm just getting to the 3rd one, my 1976 CJ360T.
Among the things that need attention is the exhaust. The original muffler has some holes rusted through. When it was last running (some years ago now) it had a nice enough throaty sound like that, but I'd not want it to be substantially louder.
I've found that some things about this bike are a bit uncommon so that some parts, like the gas tank, were apparently unique to it, hence expensive. Unlike the CB series, the CJ has a two into one exhaust collector and a single muffler, so I'm assuming that it's also going to be difficult & expensive to find a stock style replacement muffler. Since I'm not concerned with keeping it original (just want a nice, around town bike to ride) I am open to suggestions.
If there IS a stock style replacement you know of, please tell me, but I'd also like to hear from anyone who's installed an aftermarket kit on a CJ360 that's throaty but not really loud.
Thanks in advance.
