"Sportster or a C50. "

Get the Sportster, you'll be glad you did.

Maybe in other town there are mufflers laying on the gorund - the guy @ the local Harley store (c'mon, with all those do-dads they carry it is not a showroom/service location) said people have have mufflers upgraded take theirs with them.

I know a 40 mile ride is always pleasant, but I'd phone first to make sure they have the mufflers beforte I ride to the Harley emporium, 911radioman,

As for going back to stock - good for you, sir - obviously your (or your loved one's) bike - you pays your money... I can't go back (much the same as going back to Enlgand to live - not a possibility, I'm Americanised) - I had to deform the stock one. It had been shimmed & the shims almost "welded" it to the header.
