Title: New exhust system with "California Growler"
Post by: SanB2013 on December 29, 2021, 05:13:23 PM

I'm going to replace the exhaust on my Frankenstein Knucklehead. Currently I have drag pipes and want to put on original type 2 into 1's. I'm think about using the "rocket" style muffler but after looking through the Kick-Start Motorcycle parts catalog I noticed a tail Pipe/muffler called "California Growler".
I never heard of these before and was wondering if anyone here knows anything about them. Like are they a muffler or just a straight pipe?California growler.jpg

I'm not familiar with that product. Judging by the picture, they appear to be a straight pipe, with a Fish Tail end. I would call or contact the Seller and ask.

We called them "fish sticks" here. Very popular a little south of where I lived.F0712BC0-025B-4CA1-861F-4698E8E0500B.jpg
Had them on my '47 but didn't like the sound.

Straight through 1.5" chrome pipe with fishtail end.

Thanks for the reply's. I called the dealer and they are just a straight through pipe. I think I'll just go with a fishtail tipped muffler.
