    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've used steel wool in the past. I haven't tried it yet, but you can buy fiberglass mat used in boat and auto body repair. It's basically fiberglass threads woven together to form a sheet. I noticed that's basically what is used on my VH pipe before the thick padding.
 
**Stainless Steel** Steel wool, otherwise it will turn into so much rust.
 
I use stove pipe seal. It's basically fireproof rope and you buy in the hardware store by the foot. Maybe not the best sound absorption but it's durable and knocks the sound down enough to take the edge off.
 
You can buy actual muffler packing material from most any bike store that sells dirt bikes.
Its about 6 bux for a sheet.
