    OE applications and jetting

    Being in Kansas...aka Harley land, there is a literal sea of near new stock sportster 883/1200 take off slip ons. Would it be worth it to try a set out?

    Pretty sure the gs550es cans slip fit. I would like to store the stock mufflers away and tear up something else if possible.

    Just a random thought i had while trolling craigslist.

    I gotthe notion to do this when someone offered me some free ones. IIRC I did some reading and decided not to, a couple people said they were more restrictive and kind of heavy. Here's a guy who did it

      I'm curious what that sounded like. The youtube link was dead sadly.

      If mine simply unbolt (i need to look), they go all day for about $40 a set out here. I would probably scuff them with 400 grit, etch them and shoot them a low gloss black.

        I have set, paid $10. for the pair at a swamp met. I like the sounds, much more mellow, deeper sound than the Mac mufflers I had on it. Not real loud, but loud enough you can hear them when driving down the road. terrylee

          I don't know of any stock GS that has slip-on mufflers.

          To use the Harley units, you WILL have to break out the SawZall.
