Title: Kinda frustrating..... Post by raydawg on 10/04/13 at 20:45:47 Keep trying to buy a used dyna on ebay, but I get out bid, arg. Seems one seller has quite a stake in them and is asking 40 bucks and up, gee. Oh well, I guess fishing is called fishing cuz you don't always catch them, or it would be called catching :-[ |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by old_rider on 10/04/13 at 21:31:36 Keep trying! I got a pair of them for $30 and $10 shipping. Wife's is already installed and I'm trying to get me a savage to I can add one to the one I get! If you have a Harley dealer nearby go ask if they have "used" pipes on the rack in the back. Ask at the parts dept. desk, not at the sales desk. Tell them what you want and maybe they can come up with one, or maybe one of the mechanics has a spare at the house. Either way, you will get to talk with someone who likes to turn wrenches on a bike and maybe just maybe you might find someone with an extra. |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by Serowbot on 10/04/13 at 22:56:24 The Hardley Boutique here is manned by snobby, fartheads... (I hope they don't recognize me here)... They won't sell or give a take-off to nobody.... (they say it's a legal liability... Phffft!...)... Find a Harley dude, parting out on craigslist... offer him $10... He can't sell it to anybody else.... (just offer $10, leave him your number, and say,..."If you don't find another buyer, give me a call)... He'll call... or he'll be stuck with his garage art... Stock muffs are less than worthless to Harley guys... ;D... My Sporty is twice as quiet as my Shorty equipped Savage,... and I love it... I'm gonna' be the only Harley rider in Tucson with stock quiet mufflers... ...(I always like to be different)... ;D ;D ;D... |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by Midnightrider on 10/05/13 at 02:44:56 If I ever get another bike it would be a Triumph or an 883. I think Sportsters are the best looking bikes Harley ever made. I have no problem with big motorcycles, Ive had several all the way up to a Gold Wing. But the big Harleys just don't do anything for me aesthetically. The Sporster just trips my trigger and at my age I don't care for all the racket. I know what they sound like loud and you cant really hear the loud racket riding it as well as your neighbors can when you come riding in at midnight. The little 883 has all the power I need at my age. Congrats on a great looking bike Bot and I think you're wise to leave it stock. If you ever need more power Supertrapps aren't that loud but if you adjust them right they'll give you more power and less weight, by that I mean really lightning your wallet. I put one on my Savage and I adjusted it with the disc, didn't have to rejet it except for the jet with the brass plate. It gave me a few more HP and didn't offend my neighbors. I'm looking at a travel trailer right now for the grandkids but if I'm ever able to ride again I'll be at the Harley dealership arguing over an 883. I always wanted a red one and get someone to paint the dollar pyramid on the gas tank like Bronsons was if you're old enough to remember that show. |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by engineer on 10/05/13 at 06:55:19 Here is one newly listed on Ebay "Harley Davidson FXD/FXS Dyna Softail 1450 Exhaust Muffler 65413-00 Like new" at a non-bid price of $20. But it looks like it might have a cross over port. A plug could be welded into that. |

If you're going to try what Paladin suggests,... a last second bid, give yourself about 10 seconds... because there is often a re-direct to another page that asks you to confirm your bid... If you don't make it to the confirmation in time, you lose... ;)... |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by Dave on 10/05/13 at 13:49:09 Post an ad on Craigslist that you are looking for some DYNA take off mufflers. I did that and I got a call from a fellow that had a pair with only 300 miles on them. Another fellow had a stack of them for $ 15 each. |

Title: Re: Kinda frustrating..... Post by Steve H on 10/06/13 at 05:05:24 If you want to place a bid in the last few seconds, something like hammersnipe.com works real well. Up to 3 auctions a week are free. Any more than that, you have to pay a subscription. It will automatically bid what you specify in the last 5 to 7 seconds of the auction. |
