Also looking for a quiet 2nd hand muffler, if you know of one.
I've got a stock 230S muffler. It's just the muffler, you would have to weld it onto your pipe.

How loud is a steel Cobra pipe?
I'd much rather have something sedate and quiet.

lol also need a LH thread tie-rod end. One of mine is ready to fall apart.
Anything would be better- even bailing wire.
$40 for a new one is doable, but if someone's got some usable junk they want to get rid of, let me know.
I'd rather put cash into y'alls pockets as some dealer.

Doesn't the pipe just shove into the front of the muffler and get a clamp?
Or is your muffler cut off where the clamp portion is?

That would be a good thing to have.
While we're at it, how about rear master and caliper? Mine are fubar.
Anyone have a decent left cover? The chain busted a bolt landing off and it weeps oil.

Awesome! Thanks!

Going deeper into the rabbit hole-
Just noticed that the front motor mount bolt and left plate are missing.
Oh, and all the bolts, washers, and spacers for mounting the gas tank.

Shocks seem ok, as do all the other suspension connections (with the exception of the steering bushing and the rear swing arm bearings- got them on order today).

Haven't had the front wheels off yet to look at the brakes up there, but they do seem to stop the quad while pushing it around.

Really appreciate the help!!
