The previous owner of my 2005 Sporty didn't tell me that he had drilled out the center blank of my OEM mufflers. I always wondered why they were so loud. Then I shined a flashlight into them and the entire blank was gone. I did not like the sound at all, especially when accelerating; it reminded me of a jackhammer. I found some NOS OEM mufflers and love them. Now I can hear all of the mechanical sounds that are music to my ears. It even seems to run better but that could just be me. If anyone wants my old ones they can have them for the cost of shipping. Just send me a PM.

They look like my stock handlebars on my Iron. HD website just calls them Iron 883 handlebars.
