Ebay Mufflers
06/03/10 at 23:26:10

Hey folks,

Has anyone ever tried the cheap mufflers from ebay? Some claim to be Harley Davidson mufflers, some just homemade I guess. I hate the stock mufflers but can't really afford a Supertrapp or Jardine. I was looking at stuff like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUZUKI-SAVAGE-LS650-S40-BORED-HARLEY-SPORTSTER...

Another thing, would I have to rejet the carb if changing the stock muffler to any of these? Is that hard or doable by someone with little mechanical experience?

Opinions would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
E

I love 'em If you're near a harley dealer you can probably get a take off HD Dyna AND a clamp for 20-30 bucks... Depending on how the bike reacts with the new pipe...yes re-jet. I'd never done it and it wasn't bad at all...

These are priced way to high.
As mentioned already, HD mufflers can be found on ebay for as low as $25 for a pair if them, + shp; or a local HD shop.

As an example look at this sale. This auction has 3 days to go and there is no reserve price so if you bid the starting price and no one else does then you get the pair for $3.99 + the $14 shp cost.

HARLEY DAVIDSON MUFFLERS /EXHAUST SPORTSTER 97

Starting bid: US $3.99
Shipping: $14.00 US Postal Service Parcel Post

The HD mufflers have a 1 3/4" ID, which is just slightly larger than a stock LS650, but the difference can be made up two ways. One is to just cut a strip out of a soda can, wrap it around the end of the header and then slide the HD muffler on and clamp it down. The aluminum strip takes up the extra space and also aide sealing when clamped.
The other way which some folks like is to have a local muffler shop makes a short piece of pipe with a slight bend in it from the header to the muffler so that both are sized exactly and also adds severaly inches which puts the end of the muffler just past the rear brake mechanism.

I just purchased and received a "Harley" dyna muffler off of eBay - how do I know it's authentic? Thought I got a GREAT deal until I read these posts!
Also - another problem - yesterday, I put the kickstand down before I put it in neutral (just got this little bike, was a Harley girl and wasn't used to the kill switch) and, obviously, the bike died.
I put it back into neutral to start it again, and it popped, snapped, wouldn't turn over - and the neutral light went out - bike is DEAD.
Any suggestions? Was a LONGGGGGGGG push to put it into the barn.
Another ? while I'm asking - I got some saddlebag supports, and can't figure out where the two bolts go - one one front of fender "rack" and 2nd one where - take out taillight????? HELP :'(

(another WTF?)

Cut the kickstand switch wires, take a small wire nut and twist the wires together. That stupid "safety" switch is hazardous to your riding health. They tend to fail going down the road. Shuts off the bike and down you go. I put a jumper wire in the clutch switch plug as well.

Pull a fender bolt, go to Lowes and get 4 about 3/4" longer. Buy satinless if they have the right size, the stock bolts are cheap and rust readily.

Oh, and it sounds like you have a wire pinched by the seat. Pretty common. Look for a flattened one and reroute it away from the stock location.
