Title: Screamin' Eagle
Post by bobo383 on 05/18/05 at 17:26:34

Sounds great, LOUD and low rumbly, like you'd expect from a loud HD exhaust.

But I'm lean again. Actually getting backfires when I let off to shift. This is with a 155, half spacer, and stock airbox with door removed.

Back to the tuning board...

Where did you get a screaming eagle with the slash cut? HD's website only shows it as a solid cylinder exhaust.

Most of the Screamin' Eagles on ebay are slash cut. I got these for $75 plus shipping for the pair off ebay. I really wanted turn-out ones, but ya know how it goes.

Still got the other one, but the mounting tab is wrong - You'd have to really work it over with torch & hammer.

You can have it if you pay the shipping. There's some drawbacks to it:

1. It don't say screamin' eagle
2. the bracket's wrong
3. It's got a scratch along the bottom - like they leaned the bike too far in a turn and the muff caught gravel. It's not bad, but you can see it in the reflection of the manilla envelope - near the front of the muff.

Worst part is the out-of-place mounting tab. Let me know your zip code and I'll get a shipping price off the web - whatever's cheapest.

I've got both types available as well from work. For that matter, I've got 2 complete in the box, never been used, slash cut, BLACK ceramic coated LS650 exhaust SYSTEMS. New headpipe, muffler, clamps, brackets, you know, the whole thing. Guess I need to take the camera to work one day next week.

sounds pretty interesting - what kind of price?

Title: Re: Screamin' Eagle
Post by WD on 05/22/05 at 12:43:59

The systems are in the $150 range. Might be worth it to get rid of the rusting out system on mine. Sitting up in the Pacific Northwest is NOT good for these bikes. Too wet year round. Almost as bad as the Mississippi Gulf Coast (ask Max sometime how rusty the fender rails were that I pulled off, less than a year old).

HD take-offs run 20-60 bucks depending on what size/style they are and how nice the chrome is. Yes, we have Screaming Eagle take-offs as well as stock take offs. About 500 pounds of them actually. :-/

Been there, done that. :P If you had to move them about the shop you would measure them by the pound also.

You think that's funny? Between the two stores, we have over over 3 TONS of used wheels...cast, spoked, American, Japanese, European, old school,new school, no school. The good stuff? About 100 pounds...by good I mean vintage take-offs.

Too much stuff, too little storage space...

It's measured by the pound so we know we aren't getting "jacked" too bad by the scrap dealer.

Just found Screaming Eagles for $45 BIN so I have a set on the way. One is scratched a little but that not such a big deal to me. I'm not sure which one yet. Really wanted the slash cut muffler and the Jardine was just too expensive. Bobo, are the still baffles in yours? How is the tuning going? Do you still have the stock air filter running a 155. I'll probably need at least a 160 if you are since I have put a K&N in mine recently.

I gave up on the stock carb and got an Amal Mk2 from Lancer. I no longer have anything that resembles a lean condition - in fact, I'm getting a K&N so I can use the carb around the middle of its tuning range. I'm at the leanest needle setting with what I have now.

But before I swapped carbs, I was still a little lean on the very top end with the 155 jet. I amagine a 160-165-170 would be right with a K&N, but I'm out of the stock carb game right now.

As for baffles, there is SOMETHING that looks like a metal tab that keeps me from seeing all the way thru the muff. I can see light all around it - probably just a little flap of steel poking into the airflow stream.

For those who expressed an interest, the systems are MAC slashcuts. 1 black, one chrome, both overpriced (by my reckoning anyhow). I'll stick with my home-made jobby for now.
