Re: Anyone have Mark Huggett mufflers?
Thank you! Not quite after perfection otherwise I would just give my bike to Tim Stafford who is not too far down the highway from me. Thankfully for my wallet I am just after period correct parts and my bike doesnt seem to need too many of them.808Airhead wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 5:10 pmIf you are a paid member of this group,you can post in the "parts for sale" section.

So, do these Mark Hugget mufflers have the original internals?

Re: Anyone have Mark Huggett mufflers?
While I cant vouche for the internals, I weighed one muffler at 3.5Kgs.
So obviously there is something in there.
They are dignified and quiet as I always remember a BMW to be.
Your call, or email Mark and ask him. He is a very knowledgeable fellow and I believe he has high integrity.

Re: Anyone have Mark Huggett mufflers?
Vech's post seemed to say it all.
Getting any more period correct would be to a have a treasure hunt and source a pair of genuine nos mufflers, and then hoping they lasted as long as they did(n't) back in the day.
The question of do they have original design internals?
We can only hope not, that was the Achilles' heel of the originals; hopefully that same quiet tone was achieved with some improvement on the rust promoting original internals.

Re: Anyone have Mark Huggett mufflers?
I am sure mr Hugget is great guy with a good reputation, but as long as we don't know how his mufflers perform, we don't know nothing. Saying that they look great and fit well doesn't say anything about how they perform. I have some aftermarket mufflers on my R69 that don't give full performance, I never reached the 100 mph limit. They look nice though....
Rust resistance is more about the materials used, not so much the construction. The aftermaket ones rust just as quick as the originals.
Re: Anyone have Mark Huggett mufflers?
That is an open question as BMW had various suppliers such as Leistritz, Eberspächer, Boysen and Zeuna. What is original?
The R69S silencers that we sell are according to the BMW/Boysen drawing, last altered in 1967. The R69S reaches the maximum HP as specified with these silencers. If that was not the case, we wouldn’t sell them.
