That is the first time the Harley mufflers ever looked good to me, and I think it's because of the shape of the seat and rear fender. Slick. :yes:

~O~

You've done a really nice job.

What affect did the Harley pipes have on the way she runs, and do you have the crossover pipe?

The engine has MAC headers on it, The mufflers are Harley DYNA take offs. No Jetting was required. My 50yrs of building I have never had a set of pipes like these. Normally you have to rejet. BUT not this time. The mufflers slip fit in to the headers too. Air suspension is active front and rear and has been lowered 3 full inches in the rear and dropped 2" in the front. Have aprox 3.5" ground clearance.
With the corbin seat on it, seat height is 27" unloaded, 25.5" loaded.

seems like a nice formula for 83 standard

Oh By the way NO eq pipe, and runs better than new. Trust me 40+ yrs of working on bikes this is the best conversion I have ever seen.

Thanks for the response, that is really interesting because I have considered the Harley mufflers for mine. I also love that seat.
