After market muffler?

[jayocampo88]

I've been going online to search for an after market muffler. I've found a few, but I wanted to see if you guys had any surviving places where I could find more?
Any good websites?

I can't remember any owner talking about muffler replacement.
There should be some slip-ons that will work.

Scoot safely,

Choice is very  limited I think I only saw 1 system that are an exact oem fit with no mod needed.  The Grandvista is a complete exhaust - not a slip on.  I wish it was a slip on because it is less work to remove the rear tire and provides lots of aftermark choices for "slip on canister" mufflers. 

You *could* get the stock pipe cut and a flange welded on at an exhaust shop to match a common aftermarket slip on.  It probably be the same or less than spending $300 on a full system.

The choice is *not* limited, please have a look on European E-bay sites and you will find plenty of choices. I personally run a Italian MIVV stainless exhaust,

Custom make it!!! My scooter takes the same system as the GV and i never found a pipe that i liked. Ended up getting a used one, using the nice stainless header and getting a Yoshimura RS3 (stainless) tig welded. Has held up great so far, with no repairs.

1. are you talking about a direct oem fit bolt on system with no modifications required.
2. Care to list any specific make and model pipes for the GV250?
3. If there are so many of them why haven't I seen any online as online is not limited to just the USA.

That's a really nice system but it's not cheap.  Would look great though.  For the most part I love my GV except I wish it had:
  1. a little more power for the highway - say 350cc motor.
  2. larger wheels say 15" instead of 13".
  3. 3 gallon fuel tank.

With exhausts, you gotta pay to play!!!!

"Pay to Play" I thought that was just for local politics? lol.

You need a Burgman 400.

I've been thinking about that or the Piaggio BV350.  Slim is very important for getting between cars on Calif freeways.  The B400 is nice but a little bloated in the width dept.  The Grandvista / Dink really hits the sweet spot offering slim with great wind protection (with a taller wind shield), Storage under seat & givi top case. 

Grandvista / Dink improvements:
1. larger wheels 15" or so for better ground clearance and tire choices and handling.
2. 350cc motor.
3. Softer suspension with more travel.
4. slightly larger gas tank - 3 gallons.
5. Regular mirrors - side mirrors are nice but break too easily and my local dealer charges $180 each OTD with shipping which is a bit steep.
6. Slip-on exhaust header so you don't need to drop the entire exhaust to change the rear tire - or fix a flat.

Have you ever owned the B400?  What about vibration at the handlebars?
