hi mate, i got them from ebay, some guy makes them himself, will try and find the link if i can. yea i was going for the normal flush mounts but you can't see them if your another road user. they work really well and you can't really notice them when they are not in use. don't ask me if they are easy to fit as i am useless so i just take them into my local shop i use RAD Motorcycles Northampton :)

having said that i just got some baffles made for the yoshi, it reads 99DB at 5500RPM so it should be ok with then in, its a lot louder without them plus spits quite a lot of flames on the over run. the baffles seem to keep the flames in so you just get more of a bang :D
