DOES ANYONE KNOW WETHER YOU CAN FIT A NEWER MODEL EXHAUST TO A 98 MODEL SPORTSTER IS IT JUST DIFERENT MOUNTING BRACKETS OR ARE THEY BOTH TOTALLY DIFF DIMENSIONS
Just in case anyone is interested the answer is yes they do fit but involves a few mods like making a new mounting bracket ,the one that comes with the pipes will not fit . Repositioning the back brake master cylinder the older sporty,s have the master cylinder mounted on the right side (pipe side) and on the newer sporty,s it is hidden under the swingarm ( good idea) which means you only have the linkage running down the right side .Also after the master cylinder has been moved a custom linkage from it to the foot brake would have to be made.After that is it worth it ,well there isnt many options if you want to change your exhaust on a old sporty ,diff slipons ,or standard looking pipes that usually hang out past the back wheel (ok if you like that sort of thing) but if your after something else it s worth it for not much work
Gday KC here,s apic still afew things to be done got a chrome lower belt cover comeing going to make a cover for master cyl and I will make a new footbrake linkage its just temp at the moment so I can ride it while I,m doing these things .As far as sound goes KC if your thinking off getting some you,d prob wanna get some quiet baffles as well cause there pretty loud I think I will prob end up getting some . Its a bit hard to tell what its like going down the road but just starting it up without the helmet on its a lot louder than the S/E pipes I had on there before
HEY KC I HAVE GOT SOME QUIET BAFFLES I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LIKE WHEN THEY ARRIVE PROB NEXT WEEK
YEP YOUR RIGHT I BOUGHT THEM JUT IN CASE I RUN INTO A OFFICER DRIBBLE ONE DAY WHO,S HAD A FIGHT WITH HIS MISSUS BEFORE HE WENT TO WORK AND IS TAKING IT OUT ON EVERY MOTORCYCLIST HE CAN FIND, YOU COME ACCROSS THEM EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND IF YOU ARGUE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOUR BIKE ENDS UP HAVEING TO GO TO REGENCY TO GET THE CANARY OF .NOW I COULD GO ON ABOUT THOSE COWBOYS DOWN THERE BUT I WONT ANY ONE WHOS HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THEM WILL KNOW WHAT I,M TALKING ABOUT. ANYWAY BACK TO THE BAFFLE,S ONE SCREW AND SLIDE THEM OUT KC SEEMS PRETTY EASY A LOT EASIER THAN CHANGEING THE WHOLE EXHAUST
Awesome sporty you've got there. Adore the paint job. How'd you find the quiet baffles. I've got them in my short shots and leave them in for the most part... I kinda like the deeper note.
Gday sportytrace my quiet baffles have,nt come yet should be here soon . I did read that some where that the quiet baffles have a deeper note is there realy that much diff between the two and how did you find performance any diff
IS THIS A GREENPEACE FORUM
BACK TO YOUR QUESTION SPORTYTRACE ( HOW DID I FIND THE QUIET BAFFLES ) I HAD THEM IN BUT WERE A BIT QUIET NICE DEEP NOTE THOUGH, SO WHAT I ENDED UP DOING IS TAKING THEM OUT AND TOOK THE WHITE STUFF OF AND PUT THEM BACK IN ,AS IS STILL A BIT QUIETER THAN ORIGINAL AND IS NOT BASICALLY STRAIGHT THROUGH LIKE THEY WERE
