SR stuff

Waiting on the chain and sprockets to arrive, and decided to do a little exhaust project. Now will be a great time, before final carb jetting is done. I like the stock muffler, but it is a bit heavy, long, and I'm not really a LOUD exhaust guy, but this thing is too quiet for me. So, I'm using the front stock muffler from my Sportster. This was removed in 2003 with just a few hundred miles use, and has been sitting since. The stock SR muffler weighs over 11 pounds, and the Sportster muffler under 6, so a decent 5 pound savings. The hanger is in the perfect location, and I'll just need to get a short piece to connect it to the header.

SR500 muffler on the top. It's huge!

Baffle plug punched out! It should look and perform nicely. Pics to come when installed!
