Thanks 24v, will do.

Is there anywhere that I can obtain a cross-section drawing of the 2015 stock muffler, so that I can see what I am up against before starting?

Mine are the long, chrome "Harley Classic" mufflers, not the shorter 2013/4s that have a black heat shield.

 

I have never seen a drawing like that, sorry. Did you change the mufflers on your bike, or is that how they come over there?

 

These are stock here for 2015. The 2013/4s were the short and square tipped ones with the black heat shield.

Harley make all sorts of variations for the bikes that they ship internationally for reasons known only to them.. For instance, the 2012 48 sold Stateside came with black rear shocks, but the ones here were chrome, which I found most annoying, even though the best mod I did on that bike was to fit Progressive 422s.

Their website (and I know that this may be IP-dependent, so you may not see this) says as much.

"See your dealer for further details."

 

Here's a borrowed pic of the ones that came on my BO:

 

Ok, just back from (don't laugh) a 50Km run on almost good roads.

Dare I say it but I might, just, be getting used to this bike. I say just, as I could still do with an inch or so less reach.

Ok, I can spend the cash and change the seat, but I'd like to know if anyone here has had the stock seat modified with good results? I'm thinking of some of the front packing removed and a tad more in the rear to bring me forward that inch.

On the other hand, has anyone fitted the angled spacers under the risers? Surely I could gain 1 to 1 ½ inches doing that, no?

Any input appreciated!

 

The 10 degree spacers are an easy fit and with stock risers should do the trick for you.

 

Thanks Mark - have you tried this?

What's the maximum angle that can be used?. Asking as ten degrees doesn't seem much and I don't have my trigonometry head on today.

 

Can't find any on eBay.

Can you recommend a source?

 

They're on Amazon

I've used these bushings but in a reverse direction. They gave me over a half inch using short CVO risers so I'm pretty sure you'll get your 1" plus with stock risers. I bought mine from Dennis Kirk.
