Need some good close-up pics of the exhaust routing. Also need to know the clearance between the bottom of the frame and the ground on your bike.

Now that I have the bike raised up, I am thinking I may have enough clearance for a Buell exhaust on my bike. I am getting tired of baking my leg on my high-rise exhaust.

Preach, A stock Buell pipe won't fit the sportster. The frame is gonna get in the way of the pipe if you try to use it without modification.

I figured that... With the stock pipe, splicing in about 3 inches before it wraps around the front should give me enough room to clear the downtube..... or so I am thinking. I should know in a week or so, found a used header setup.

Here you go Preacher, this is my 98 S1W

If there are measurements you need or a particular view of the exhaust let me know and I'll get them for you.

A good closeup of the other side and of the front of the cases where the pipes wrap around?

You could measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of your cases for me... interested to see how much ground clearance you have without the muffler.

Thanks a bunch!

No problem, they'll be here sometime tonight, got to feed the heathens right now. What year is the exhaust you bought they differ some from year to year ??

Chris

I have to be honest and say I don't know. It looks like a late 90's S2 exhaust. The guy who is selling it doesn't remember what year or model for sure, he bought it at a flea market.

BTW: I measured mine... with that cross brace on the under side of the frame, I have a good 8 1/2 inches of clearance... I should have no problems with this :D

Downloading now give me a few minutes

I'm thinking it'll work too without too much fabbing, the holes for the bracket on the front left are there on your Sportster. The hanger brackets will be the toughest part.

This is going to look very cool if you pull it off :smoke :smoke

Here you go Preacher hope this helps

The bike is leaning slightly towards me so you'll get a little more here

Good luck, if anyone can make it work a ba$tard can, Chris

Excellent, thanks for the pics! Much appreciated....

No problem, you don't happen to know if my 06 takes 14mm plugs do you ??

'Fraid not.... I thought they were identical with 05s? If it is, then it is a 6R12 (HD part number 32362-04)

Nice S1W Cjburr. I just picked up a 96 S1 100% original under 1000 miles reactor yellow. Man this bike is fun to ride!
