Title: SUZUKI SAVAGE LS650 LOUD HARLEY MUFFLER CONVERSION
Post by Savage96 on 11/14/10 at 15:11:48

I want to change my exhaust on my bike and I've been looking at Harley mufflers and I want to know if any one has used these or know someone else who has. I want to know how easy they were to put on and if this can even work, I dont want to do any harm to my bike. I dont want a jardine exhaust or supertrapp if anyone knows of other kinds pls include to.

You shouldn't post questions in the TECH section, post them in the rubberside down section and you'll get waaaay more answers. An yes many many people have switched to Harley dyna and sportster mufflers, try searching and you'll find many threads on it. Here's one to help you:

Is that legal in California slavy? Itd be so much cheaper to out a auto muffler tip than to get a jardine, but how'd performance and legality of it be affected?

Slavy is a different guy, call me versy, v1, big V, anything but someone else and never late for lunch.

legal, don't think so, but hellacious loud ain't legal either.
harley trade marked I think.

Put a plain straight pipe or leave it off and cut out the middle man.
And if you want it that loud, you don't get a sh!t about your neighbor, why would you give one about your engine.

Oh sorry! Thought ppl called you slavy, my mistake Big V! Course I care bout my engine it's why I ask. Neighbors aren't gonna hassle seeming as how the cul de sac I live in has two 6.0 Ford pick ups with flows, a 46 mercury hot rod that wakes the dead, an awful 60 something VW beetle, and an even worse fast and the furious honda. I'll just continue my pursuit of a jardine

I went with a HD screamin eagle, the old kind not version II. Had to put a hole in the muffler support on the bike to get it to fit but no big deal. Also replaced the stock clamp with a heavy duty clamp because it got rusty and leaked from the connection. The HD clamps is good and tight and looks better.

Get on ebay and look for a muffler for aHarley Dyna. You might get a stock Harley muffler or an aftermarket like my Screaming Eagle. As long as it's meant for a Dyna it's good (with two exceptions). If you want louder pick whichever one is cheapest. If you want better exhaust flow pick whichever one is cheapest. If you want better looking pick whichever one is cheapest. Not much worse than the stock cannon. Its heavy, ugly, sounds like crap.
Things to look out for
Do NOT get a muffler with a crossover. If you arent sure by the pictures ask the seller.
IF you can, get a muffler with rail type mounting. Your other choice is tab type mounting. You can make tab mounting work but the rail mount is much easier.
Things to know before you move on
No one's dyna muffler conversion has worked out exactly the same way. It requires some figuring and fiddling and is not a smooth direct fit.
Get back to us once you have a muffler in hand. Until then read old posts with relevant subject titles. Hopefully by the time you get a muffler you'll have read enough to know what to do.

I put on a muffler from a H-D FXS1450. I had to cut the neck off just behind the crossover, but then it mounts pretty easily. Can't beat the price--free from my local bike shop; guys pull these off all the time to put on other pipes and just leave them with him.

And sound is the nicest I've heard. Low, not overly loud but with a deep mellow sound.

Looking back I guess I should clarify: I used the top (rear) muffler. It looks like the bottom (front) muffler's crossover is much closer to the actual muffler section and there may not be enough room left to mount it after cutting it off behind the crossover.

Cheers,

Mike
