...bought from one of our fine members who decided to take it off his bike. (Thanks man!)  It fit perfectly, bolted right up to the original holder, etc.  In fact, it took longer to get the stock exhaust off than it did to install the new one.

First impressions...it's L-O-U-D under hard throttle.    I think I like it.  I definitely like it better than the stock exhaust (even after the drill mod)...the bike doesn't sound like a VW Beetle any more.    The Jardine is not as deep sounding as the stock exhaust, but has a lot of mid-range percussive bark to it.

I tried adjusting the carb after installing the Jardine.  I ended up getting the highest revs by turning it all the way clockwise (ie., making it more lean).  I've said this before, but I'm pretty sure the prior owner already re-jetted the carb with larger jets. Half of the cross-section of the Jardine is just a straight-through pipe...the bike has to have already been re-jetted.

Anyway, I'm digging the Jardine exhaust.

I also tried starting it up with no muffler at all on it...now that's L-O-U-D x 2.  

Cheers,
Dave

The stock heat shield will fit the Jardine like socks on a rooster. Id hunt one thatll look nice instead of solving the problem of mounting the stock one,
Check out the Supertrapp heat shield & look around at other bikes, Id bet Harley has one thatll go there & look right,

Ah, cool...thanks for that link.  I was thinking the stock heat shield might look a little *big* and awkward over that smaller muffler.  That's a good price too.  So, 2" is the right size?

2" worked for me. If the Jardine is bigger get the 2.25" but I would think the 2" one would work well.

Good deal...ordered that heat shield.  Thanks guys!

When the time comes to repack the exhaust, consider this:

Makes it a touch quieter and deeper in tone with less rasp.

I like it.

Ribbed veggie can cut at an angle. Or a couple of wraps with a soda can. Make sure you have 4 slits minimum so it will clamp down. If it won't slide on all the way without hitting the necked down part of the header, cut that off. Use a clamp that tightens the entire circumference.
