Where did you find the pic? That may help us to figure out what the bars are.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

I didn't realize until you asked where it came from. I had done some research way back before I bought my bike and joined group. I think I found a link to it through just doing a google search of pictures of LS650 choppers.

some info... not much.

if that custom bar that was linked earlier is what you're going for...
I would spend a little up front and find a setup that you're comfortable with, even if it looks like crap.
Then get the custom bar made to those specs.
especially since you got an issue.
nothing worst than spending a whole lot of money for sumptin you don't like.

Soc,that warning is placed on stock mufflers by law (the feds make the bike companies do it,the Dyna will have it too) ,but state inspection laws don't usually even govern exhaust systems.(but you should check to see if your state does)you should be OK unless you're pipes are to noisy ,(ticket time). I would go with a Dyna muffler ,they are relatively cheap, sound better,but are only a bit louder,and we can advise on jetting just by asking your elevation above sea level. between the Dyna and the rejettimg the bike it will run surprising better as many on this site will agree ,including me! A custom pipe will cost more an may not be the right size or have the correct back pressure to be easy to tune the carb to.If you what to go after market ,I'd go with a known manufacturer ,who already has a muffler for your bike.The chances of you coming up with a design and your friend building it right are rather slight ,and the bike may never run well.

I have Bitwell bars and their quality and service are awesome. You need the 1" bars and everything will work. You will either have to drill a hole or grind off the little nub in the controls from your bike. Personally I just ground it off to give me the flexibility. Easy to do with a dremel.

These are the Bitwell window bars.

Good Luck.

Any experience with actually building one, i.e. getting some tube, breaking out the mig and sourcing baffles?


If you have a Mig wlder....you can make your own exhaust adapter.  If you can't find a proper size pipe to slide onto the header....you will have to take a piece of 1.75" ID tubing to your local muffler shop and have them expand the tubing to slip over the header pipe.

So here's the thing, since I discovered I found picture from the forum, it was posted by a member Gitarzan, he no longer is active. His last log in was in 2013. Thanks for all the info and helpful guidence.
