I need R&L mufflers for my CA77 Dream. I prefer originals but will consider quality aftermarket.

Thanks Joe. I sent an email to Bill Silver today and am hoping for a positive response. I bought (and returned) a pair of the Apex aftermarket mufflers because the appearance of the welds and poor chroming of the mufflers was not going to show off my Dream.

Got my repro mufflers through Bill Silver. They're made in Australia one (two?) at a time. It took about a month and a half and they are not cheap but if you want the original look and to never have to worry about rusted pipes again then these are the ones! I reused the original header to muffler gaskets and they fit quite well. Since they are stainless steel rather than chrome they have a pleasant polished steel finish finish but not mirror chrome. The baffles are welded in place so if you're into loud you'd better look somewhere else! For me the finish on the mufflers works quite well with the aged patina that the rest of my bike has acquired.
