When you get a new tube for the rear get one with a 90^o bend on the valve stem to make airing it up and checking it much easier

make sure they bend it the right way . . . away from the belt, otherwise it's almost more of a pain than no bend at all

Congrats on the new aquisition. I buy my tires from a local guy who owns a small shop and works on all brands. He always beats the internet, and that's before shipping. Check the small shops, and have the patience to wait a few days if they have to order it.
For some reason, I have a good memory for numbers. I filled up Monday, glanced at the odo it was showing 41.something. I always round up to next five or ten and just remember it. When it gets around 14,245 I'll find a station. Sometimes I forget if I don't ride for a couple of weeks, but that's where the "Look and Shake" method comes in.

Be sure to tell them to turn the stem to the right. I told them, but they forgot at my mc shop. Owner apologized profusely and made them re-do it. Good catch EJID. Very important for right handed old men with bike leaning left on stand, plus bi-focals. Sad

So I noticed that at the end of last season I put the cover on the bike too soon (pipe still hot). So without hesitating last night, I grabbed some fine grit sandpaper and steel wool and went at it. Well, I should have searched the internet first because now my pipe looks awful I later learned that oven cleaner does the trick). So, I'm in the market for a new pipe.

Would this work on my bike? Anyone know where to source one cheaper?

I want to try to avoid rejetting. Has anyone else done something like this?

Is there any difference between the 95 savage and the 96-04 exhaust?

Thanks!

You can do better on your own.

Wander down to the local harley shop and lie
Tell 'em you gotta a friend with a sporster and his muffler fell off over in the next town (pick one that doesn't have a harley shop) and you need a take off so he can get home.

The part number of the muffler is around here some where, this gets talked about every other week.

Typically about $20 for the muff, and $10 for the clamp.

I am curious b/c I just bought one on ebay for $10 and it has the baffle. I do plan to rejet. What is to be gained or lost by drilling? Thanks.

I will see how it performs without drilling. Not as concerned about making it loud anyway.
