Posts: 53 Brisbane Queensland Australia Gender:	Harley 883 iron pipes 06/15/12 at 16:41:53 I have read the treads about what HD mufflers will fit but being in Australia the choices and prices are far more limited than you have. On eBay in my local area is a set of mufflers taken off a brand new 883 Iron for $50. Any idea if one of these will fit without too much trouble ??

Look at the mount... you can fit any of them,.. if you are just a tidge creative... ... PS... make sure the original owner hasn't knocked the baffle plates out... Or they'll be way too loud...

Cavi Mike - yes the ones in that pic.

Serowbot - they are brand new and not modified, done 5 miles from the dealer to the workshop that put new aftermarket pipes on. After i wrote the post i thought to myself i bet someone says something like you can make anything fit with a FBH ! I can be VERY creative and since I will get 2 of them I can play ( hack up/ destroy) one if I really needed to. Just wondered if anyone had experience with this particular model.

that looks like the kind I just put on my bike, I used a ryca muffler bracket to mount mine ( didn't feel like making a bracket). just use a metal bar bolted to the original bracket with it coming out the front enough (towards the header pipe) to bolt the muffler to it. The bolt holes on the muffler are to far forward to bolt to the original bracket if you mount it directly to the header pipe. you either need to make an adapter to move the muffler back so you can bolt to the bracket or make a bracket that bolts to the muffler and the original bracket, you can do it with a hack saw a hand drill with a hardware store piece of metal bar.

That's interesting, one of my weaknesses is NOT buying tools. If I can use my neighbors ladder or my other neighbors trimmers or my other neighbors wife...

OK I was kidding about that last part but only recently have I decided to stop borrowing everyone's stuff. I decided to go all out this time and buy a new tig. Best thing I could have ever done. No more dragging everything to work.

So I guess it will be some modifying for me! One good thing is they are brand new, come with all the bolts and clamps and even the chrome header pipe covers so I have 2 of everything to play with.
