There it is again ! Could someone please explain to me what these neighbourhood motorcycle bans actually mean ? I have been led to believe that riding a Harley Davidson is the ultimate expression of American freedom so I honestly find it hard to understand how this operates . For example how is this policed and enforced ? What exactly constitutes a neighborhood ? I just can't see how the law of the land can be overridden by .... by what ? Sorry , I'm not usually stuck for words but this nightmarish scenario is just beyond my comprehension . Please enlighten me.

 

Call a local hd dealer and see if they have any take-offs sitting around. Lots of dealers do.

This is because every time some person who just bought a bike (new or used), they may want to immediately change out the exhaust if stock or even if not... out of ignorance adhering to word of mouth/styling preferences. The removed set (full system or slip-ons) gets left at the dealer in a lot of cases.

Some , not all, dealers will sell you the stock take offs cheap.

Will the takeoffs work with what you already have or in place of it? Research, honest/ helpful dealer folks, and the forum can help there.

About to buy a used set of mufflers off of facebook.

Just to double check, my manual for my 2010 XL883N says I need these:
64842-04

But the ones I'm buying (80399-04) should fit and work just fine...

Right?

 

64842-04 is correct for 2004-2010 bikes

80399-04 seem to be slash cut and not tapered. Just make sure they have the interconnect outlet on them.

What is confusing is the parts finder I was looking at shows different part numbers for front and rear muffler.

If the OP knows someone at the dealership or can get a connection there, I am sure he can find a take-off. However, when I was working there, they use to dump take-offs in the trash and not resell them....must have been a policy or something When i had my 2011, I use to frequently check those bins for parts.

 

What is the interconnect outlet, and is there a way to check this online before I drive an hour away to buy the 80399-04 ones?

Also, I'm going to call up harley and ask them to see as well.

 

Interconnect is the bit that sticks out on the side just behind where the muffler fits onto the header - see my link above, it will confirm correct part.

 

Called Harley, they said there is an O2 sensor difference in those parts and they won't work. I'll have to order the ones for my bike then.

 

If they are public roads maintained through your taxes and your driveway is solly owned by you and are single family detached homes;

If it is a legally licensed vehicle, then it would not be possible for an HOA in a non-gated, non-private road community to ban the use of them on the roads. They can require they be parked out of site, like RVs and such, but not prohibit them from using the roads


If they are private roads then you are screwed!
