I finished a -49 part # Dyna muffler conversion yestersay using a RYCA  adaptor to clear my brake cable. A few things I didn't like: 1, the adaptor does not fit over the LS650 muffler (the Dyna muffler fits very well into the adaptor). I made 4 each 3/4" deep saw cuts with my dremel tool at the exhaust pipe end and expanded the RYCA adaptor to fit. I used Gator Patch muffler sealer (Auto Zone) to get a good joint. 2, Attach the Gator Patch around the exhaust pipe with some contact cement before you do the final tightening on the RYCA adaptor. Trim it after completion. This will allow you to retain your sanity. 3, Save the pretty RYCA chrome bolt in your "spares" box and install a grade 8 bolt. It takes some serious clamping. I also removed the CA emissions box and cut off the attachment ears leaving just the stock bracket, and painted it. The holes on the -49 Dyna muff do not line up with the stock braket and used a 13mm (head) bolt.  I had to drill a new hole in the bracket about midway between the stock holes and sawed off the extra length, smoothed and filed, etc. I recommend a Harley muffler clamp (all over ebay) to attach the muffler to the RYCA adaptor. Much Stroner that the rusty stock clamp. Then the longest Motorcycle Superstore heat shield neatly completed the job. It really looks nice and adds sleekness to the lines. The Dyna muff is no louder but sounds a bit deeper. I have so much air intake noise from the ebay cone muffler that I can't hear the exhaust at highway speed anyway. All together, this project took about 8 hours, the longest part was grinding and sawing off the emissions box ears, plus a day for the paint to dry. With the RYCA adaptor amgled outward,  the muffler clears my brake cable and aligns parallel to the swingarm.
