Title: Greetings from Poland
Post by grapefruit on 12/15/05 at 12:53:07

First of all I must say this is the best place for all Savage owners on the internet! The knowledge I found here is huge. Thank You!

Savage is my first bike and I bought it this summer with only 5000km on it. The bike really looks like a new one though it is 1995.

First thing I changed was handlebars, I prefer low and wide handlebars, after that rised front of a seat and took off sissybar. My friend is making nice little grip for me, similarly like this one: http://suzukisavage.com/gallery/ALang1.jpg . I also bought new, bigger rear tire (dunlop 150/80/15, not on the bike yet).

My future plan is to change footpegs and the muffler.

I have opportunity to buy a pair of HD Dyna mufflers in very good condition, for only 69$, will it be match to Savage? They are drilled and louder then stock. I need lower, deeper, more powerful sound from my savage :), is it possible with Dyna muffler?

Welcome to the site! Unfortunately I don't know for sure about that particular muffler but I'm sure someone here will. You will likely need to make an adapter with about a 10 degree bend to have it fit properly since most straight mufflers require this. Someone can probably tell you for sure though.

The HD Sporster muffler works quite well on Savages. The header pipe fits the muffler, you just have to use your imagination about the mounting tab. I mounted mine with the tab on top of my bracket and ran the bolt up thru the bottom. You need to make sure the mufflers you are looking at have a 1 3/4" connector.

Thank You for quick answers. I probably don't take these Dyna mufflers and will be searching for Sportster muffler...

I was convinced this tire would fit... :( , the difference is only 10 mm...well,...I'll check it out.
