Didn't mean to get my nose out of joint everybody, having a bunch of fire ants craw up my leg really got me all fired up. Here are a couple pics of the muffler adapter and the bracket I used for the sportster install.

The problem is the wrong HD muffler, the Sportster muffler has a tab on it but the Dyna mufflerhas a bracket similar to stock, you go to the Hardware store, buy a togglebolt and some large washers, mount the extra washers between the mounting hole in the front of the stock bracket and the muffler to point it away from the brake/tire. Use your stock clamp plus a reducer sleeve to attach it to your header pipe. Works like a charm on my 87.

I did several pipe installs cause I like to mess with stuff, and I like to fabricate. I could have gotten by with the stock pipe but the sound was girly.

"Correct" aftermarket pipes were more money than I wanted to cough up - that and I think if everybody already has one, then I don't want it.

I'm weird that way (and several other ways)...but the Raask is just hard enough to obtain, and just plain cool looking straight-pipe style, I might have to try one.

I like the Screaming Eagle mufflers. They are not my favorite but they work fairly well and are very cost effective, especially from ebay. Regardless of which muffler you prefer, it can be had for a great price on ebay if you are a little patient and watch the sales. It does not take much effort to adapt the S/E, Supertrapp, or any other muffler to the Savage and make it look pretty darn good. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the only beholder that is important in this case is the one riding that particular bike. Do what you like and be proud of it. Everyone else...tip your hat, acknowledge your riding brother's effort, and do your own thing.
