NJ Shop to remove and plug exhaust flapper?

[nickbee]

Anyone know a a shop in NJ (hopfully northern NJ) that can remove and plug up (weld) to remove the flapper in a M1200 mid pipe?  I'm getting my left over 2014 soon and will have a Termi slip on ready to go.  I'd like to do this mod at the same time.  I'd entertain shipping if I can get a quackish turn around. 

THANKS!

Sorry I can't suggest a shop, but I can offer two bits of advice. Ive done it myself on 1100 and 1100evo pipes. I don't know about the 1200 but on the 1100 the butterfly was too large to pass out the pipe without first cutting a section of it off. On the 1100evo it came out without needing to be trimmed. So suggest to whoever does it to first evaluate if it will pass through the pipe or will need trimming. If it needs trimming, do that before removing the butterfly screws. BTW, those screws are spot welded.

Second suggestion is that you specify stainless steel for the plugs. Otherwise they will become eyesores. Brazing or silver soldering is sufficient unless you just want to pay for TIG.

Great info.  THANKS!

Well gang I just got a great quote on a full Termi system.  So it looks like I'm dodging the bullet of having to remove the flapper.  I will be posting the stock exhaust for sale after I get the bike, so it will become that person's problem
