Thanks Gyrobob.  That is actually something that had not occured to me.  After the adjustments are made, I'll ask him to quote a price for the board members who want to go this route. I used Hustler Machine in Memphis, TN.  pretty good folks.  Was quoted $300 (and billed) to use the first 6" of my factory header and my $50 emgo reverse cone shorty (17") muffler and then fab everything that connects the two with 2" stainless.  I'm repacking the Emgo baffle with some pretty hefty packing so hopefully the fact that he went with 2" tube wont make too much difference sine the inner tube on the factory header is 1.6" ID (I think).

Thanks for the compliment and I'll check on a price for the board members.

Jumpin Jiminy!  That exhaust system must be 20lbs lighter than stock.  How loud is it?  Did you rejet the carb?

I am thinking I like the position of that muffler, sitting on top. It sucks to remove the oil filter and have some oil find its way on the pipe below. My bike always smokes for a week after I do the oil.

I think the Suzuki tuned pipe works the best.

As usual, there are several sub-threads going in this thread, but I would like to say to mpnoffi that his explanations for further work on his scrambler make sense. Show us a picture of the completed job!

He uses  an Emgo 17" reverse cone megaphone muffler. It looks good. Question:  that muffler has an accessible baffle that allows more packing to be added?

I believe that's the muffler that Ryca is using on their kit bikes. On the 'Ryan's bike' YouTube video it's loud. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByNxIZh9Kew&feature=feedu

I'm doing a Ryca kit (it's not here yet), but I'm concerned about becoming cop bait with a non-Harley running a loud muffler. So I would add packing, if it's possible.
