Thanks

Yup, those will work, just make sure you get a real good seal between the dyna and the headpipe.

I have been looking on eBay at these mufflers. There are two types pictured. One has a slide type mounting bracket the other has two seperate mounting brackets. Question is will both types work? I would think that the one with the slide type bracket would be a better choice. Has anyone mounted the type with the two seperate brackets and what if any mods had to be done to the mounting bracket on the bike to make that type work? Just drill a hole or two? Thoughts or suggestions please. I am trying to get some parts togather for the winter.
Thanks again.

The Dyna muffler I used had one bracket with a slot. The center of the slot has a larger cut out.

I went to the hardware store and found carriage bolts with heads that fit through the enlarge part of the slot. The square shoulder of the bolt fit exactly into the slot. This holds the bolt when you tighten the nut. I was able to get a bolt into both of the stock bracket holes without modification. It makes for a secure mounting.

Two tips. Be sure to get the Dyna muffler without the crossover fitting. Also, you might check out the local HD dealer. They often have take-offs mufflers. I got my Dyna muffler from the local shop for $20 (local shop - short drive, no shipping cost, no waiting ;D ).

Steve thanks for the information.
I didn't want to get a muffler that required me to do any mods that were not needed.

You want the one with the single mount. It is the easiest to install.
