I  seldom have a problem getting the same mufflers that came off back on, They are pretty much sized to fit, used mufflers from another machine can be a problem, but Harbor Freight sells a small muffler expander that will quickly remedy that

Worth their weight in gold along with some copper anti-seize on the joints. They come right off if you ever need to pull them again...Greg

I have a 10" core bit I used about 6" of  5/8 all thread for the arbor, double nutted it, then got  a Dewalt bit that goes in the drill and has a 3/8  square end on it. slip a socket on there and away you got and yes my 10" went inside the pipe while I was drilling it, that's why I  used the all thread, just like Jim suggested. . Worked great... Patience, drill slow and shoot plenty of WD -40 on the bit to keep it cool Greg

Greg,

Gotta do it !

Yeeee Haw.  Another CAT bites the dust!  It sure does look small when it comes out of there (I know....that's what she said).  I really anticipated this being problematic, but this was a heck of a lot easier than getting the welds off the mufflers.  I'm guessing that the core bit would make it through another one, but I don't think I would want to be the one trying to do so.  It looks like the bit gets pretty worn after just cutting one of these out.  I suppose I'll keep it around in case a local friend wants to give it a try, before ordering a new one.  Thanks for all the help guys!

Any noticable difference in the way the bike runs as compared to stock, then just the baffles and now the CC?

I haven't put my mufflers back on yet.  They are gutted and awaiting receipt of my Fullsac inserts.  I did start the bike for just a few seconds with no mufflers (with and without converter) and that puppy roars without the converter.  I'm hoping the Fullsac's arrive Fri, Sat, or Monday.

Does anyone have a spare bit they would part with or maybe one that could have enough left for one more cat.  I'm striking out all over the place.  I've also been quoted up to a couple of hundred bucks for a bit here locally.  Did the baffles this past weekend and the a/c is on the way.  Thanks, Let's Roll

Its amazing, I got mine in 06 when HD started putting cats inside their CVO mufflers for $19.00 from Mcgills, Now this site has  wiped out the worlds supply, Dont worry about these bits wearing out, they were designed to drill through concrete and 1/2 in rebar, Ill bet I have used mine at least twenty times and it just keeps on working.

Try www.toolbarn.com. I just got one from them yesterday. I'd be happy to sell you mine, but I think you will get through it much more quickly with a new one. I don't know...they might be good to do 100 of them.

I tried McGills they said sold out for about another month and toolbarn (part #  JD112DCC), can't find anything in the site with that #.  Let me know guys, I'll keep looking.  Let's Roll

I just checked out toolbarn.com and I can't find it on there anymore.  Maybe they deleted it from their site if they are out of stock.  Their search function leaves something to be desired.  If you go to "MORE" across the top, then click on bits, then core bits, then over to the right upper area click on "toolbarn" for the brand, it will list all of the toolbarn core bits, and 1.5" is no longer there.  I just got one from them yesterday and drilled my CAT out this morning.  Sorry for the bum steer.  These things are getting cleaned out from anyone that has them for a decent price.

Here's one on ebay  http://cgi.ebay.com/Concrete-Core-Drill-Bit-1-5-55-Bond_W0QQitemZ400010559658QQihZ027QQcategoryZ50892QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262  Not bad for a 16" long one if you can get it at the starting bid pricing of $38.73 + $7 shipping.  I'm searching around to see if there are any more available anyplace.

i had my headpipe off recently so i could install my ss fasteners. the cc chamber is 7" the cc is 5". the front headpipe has an inch er so unobstructed before the cc. the split is after so while the drilling doesn't remove all the cc it helps.



definitely cooler
