Triumph Bonneville: Let's RUIN Our Exhausts (ON PURPOSE)!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 гру 2023
- In today’s video I’m going to be modifying the exhaust pipes on my Triumph Bonneville, aka performing the "Bafflectomy", a free motorcycle mod that makes your Triumph Bonneville's exhaust sound better.
The first step is to make sure you’re well equipped. Here is what you’ll need to complete the bafflectomy:
A good drill amzn.to/41zUKHI
1.25″ Hole saw (get at least two, maybe three) amzn.to/48b1b6B
Drill bit extension set amzn.to/480Ethv
5/8″ Dowel amzn.to/3GSK79F
Table lift (optional) discount-ramps.sjv.io/motorcy...
Other common shop stuff supplies
WD-40
Saw
Drill bits
Rubber mallet or hammer
Magnet
Pliers, etc.
Welcome to the third episode in my series comparing my Triumph Bonneville vs my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 vs my Moto Guzzi V7 where we are going to figure out what is the best mid-size retro motorcycle (for me).
Today we’ll be looking at:
• What is a Triumph Bonneville bafflectomy?
• How to do a Triumph Bonneville bafflectomy?
• How does it sound and run once done?
I’m doing this exhaust modification in hopes of getting a little more noise, base, and character out of my Bonneville, because character is one of the areas the Bonneville is lacking in this competition against the V7 and even the Interceptor.
I’m also doing this Bonneville mod because I have a maximum budget that I’m allowed to spend on each motorcycle in this competition. I only have $220 left to spend on the Bonneville, and this mod is free!
If you're interested in retro motorcycles, Bonneville mods, or free motorcycle mods in general, this video is for you.

Been doing a lot of thinking and looking and I'm coming to terms with needing a T100 in my life. There's one for sale around the corner from me that is very, very tempting. Looking forward to seeing how this competition turns out.
Hahaha. I usually just keep a little bit of money put to the side so that when a nice bike comes up at a very tempting price I can go for it. Ride it for a while, make it better, and move on. We'll see which of the trio I keep! 😬
Have 2008 bonneville 865cc with staintune exhausts, upgraded air cleaner and pollution removed. With just these few changes it sounds better, is more crisp and responsive. Best bikes in the world 👍
I had a carbureted Bonneville shy staintunes, a similar setup, upgraded CR carbs, aftermarket suspension front and back, and a custom finish I did. It was a great bike! ua-cam.com/video/-7jRZWjUuww/v-deo.html
I have a 2020 t100. I put 18 inch short slip on. It made a little louder. I had pea shooters on it when I bought it. I actually love how it sounds now.
Nice! What 18" slip on did you get?
It's great you can do these mods yourself. Merry Christmas and we see you in the new year. Dave
Thanks Dave. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hope we cross paths this year!
I'll be working our HOG Chapter display in the PFAFF HD Booth for the weekend at the International bike show Jan 5, 6,and 7. stop by if you go. Cheers @@YouMotorcycle
Hey Dave, sorry I couldn't make it. The missus and I got sick so we've been home for a week now.
Hope you both are feeling better. we had the same and missed the first two days of the show. Cheers
Still a little yuck but testing negative and good enough to go out and rejoin society now. Hope you guys are better too!
When I had my 900 Thruxton first thing I did was a get the Arrow 2-2 map and Dominator sport slip on...... Sounded awesome!!!!!
Hey Andrew, thanks so much for the tip. I'm assuming you did this with a Power Commander?
No Triumph had factory maps for the Tor, Arrow 2-2 and the Arrow 2-1
Oh cool. Straight from the dealer then. 🙂
You mean remapped the ECU?
That all depend on the firing order of each of those bikes... I dislike loud 270 degree parallel twins like the Enfield but don't mind loud transverse twins (Moto Guzzi) and the 360 degree Triumph.
Great point! Engine config really makes all the difference. For some reason I never cared much for a loud in-line four, but a louder v-twin never bothered me. We're all got our own quirks I guess :)
Neat! I've always heard of it, never seen it done. I mean, it's not like I'm gonna do that to my Harley, because I like the quiet... but maybe the Vulcan 800...
I have a 1999 Vulcan 800 Drifter, I pulled the Baffel on it and took all the wrap off it, it sounds really nice now.
Hey John, I think you should put some loud pipes on that Harley, to help drown out the other noise source in your videos 😂 Cheers brother. Merry Christmas and much love from your buddy up north!
@@YouMotorcycle Merry Christmas, man - and HAHAHA, yeah, 'cause the audio is SO EASY now, I need more challenge? Don't worry... I'll be challenging myself in some upcoming videos... it's gonna be awesome [I'd say epic, but THAT is played out]
Good vid I enjoyed this good mod, I was unaware of this mod for the Bonneville, I do have Tors on my Bonneville already. 1 thing I'd like to point out if I may, that back firing is not something new, its that cat burning off unspent fuel as it was designed to do, the difference now is , you can hear it with the exhaust gutted. My Bonne does it with the Tors and my Royal does it with the Emgo Hooligan exhaust as well. Even with a Booster plug that allows your bike to run richer both my Triumph and my Royal have the decel pop :-) I like it.
Hey Karl, thanks very much for the comment and for the info on your bikes. Do you happen to know if your bike got the TORS mapping from Triumph on install? Merry Christmas!
@@YouMotorcycle Merry Christmas. I bought the bike used with the Tors on it, the person I bought it from said he mapped it himself, so that been said I'm not sure if it has been done although the person I bought it from seemed like a good honest straight up person and the bike runs well so I think it was done and he did it him self. I think he said he down loaded the map from Triumph.
Understood and thanks Karl. Merry Christmas!
Back in the late-70's / 80's I rode Dukes with conti's . They Bark , I like a nice deep rumble/bark , it's half the enjoyment when pushing a twin through the-twistys ; torque, vibration and sound , you have to Know you are on a beast of some-sort otherwise what's the-point ? Dave nz
It looks like this round is really RE vs Bonnie. Moto Guzzi seems shoe in. And leaning towards bonnie since it has exhaust mod, still gonna need to do that to the RE for it to stay in. And tbh, I feel until you swap the exhaust on it, fix filter box & flash it, RE won't keep up with highways enough.
So what are you planning on doing, when the MOT is due for renewal..!!
What's an MOT? Is it some kind of mandated government recurring inspection? This is Canada, we have freedom not fascism lol. None of that here.
@YouMotorcycle 😆 I love the reply. We have to make sure our vehicles are safe for our pothole riddled roads here in good old Blighty. So we undergo inspections once a year. Oddly enough, vehicles over 40 years old are except
@@EpicAdamMotovlogs thanks Adam! Sounds like the question was totally valid, but the assumption that everywhere is the same was silly 🪿
Dude is just ripping around 🪦 RIP yards to record audio
nah. hardly ripping around, not even doing the road speed limit. but i live in the most densely populated city in my country, so, there's no unobstructed riding on the road. This is the only spot I can go where I won't be stuck in traffic unless I ride for 30+ minutes away from the city.
