oh cool! thanks!
so it's 23.622" long by 5.11811" high without the Fishtail. the fishtail seems to be about 9" long.
How long is the stock muffler?
They don't show the size for the inlet pipe.
I wonder how difficult fabricating a suitable hanger will be?
I'd hate to be seen as a fashion victim but I really like the look of this. Do I want to put the work into making it fit? Hmmmmm...

The site reads - BSA Empire Star Silencer, Fishtail, 2 Clips 1 7/8" 1937-38 I see the 1 7/8" in there but is that just the size of the clamps? Looks like a reducer will be necessary to adapt it to my header.

Good point. I also wonder if there will be enough back pressure for the engine to run properly.
