More options from Unit Garage available, I've not come across them before but seem to have a decent reputation and are based in Italy.

Feck it, I've bought one. Look forward to getting rid of the Euro 5 muffler/resonator, if it sounds shit, I can always take it back off and flog it on eBay.

 

I’ve got my eye on one of these. Please post the results when you fit it.

 

I'm contacing the following seller quality seems good 155 Euro (with VAT) and free delivery in Italy.

Excellent, well found and thanks for sharing. Unit Garage has shipped my order. I paid £155 inc VAT & shipping was free of charge/included to the UK.

 

HP Corse cans look sweet too. Motorcycles and Motorbike special parts

They also have a UK dealer. HOME | Conquest Racing Ltd

 

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!!

 

... but quiet expensive too ...

 

I ordered the CAT heat shield from the same place. Hoping it ships soon.

 

I sure would apricate a report on the pipe when you all have them fitted

 

Okay, fitted the Unit Garage link pipe today. Found this for the SE fitment, which helped,

Couple of brave pils and off we go!

Place bike on side/jiffy stand, make sure it's in gear, so can't roll forward off the stand. Apply release agent to front pipe to resonator connection and leave to work.

Remove split pin and dowl from brake lever master cylinder, free up lever so it's out of the way, shown.

Remove torx from foot hanger, this creates enough room to move the hanger back far enough to access the top securing bolt of the resonator torx, remove that. Lossen front pipe clamp, apply more WD40 etc, remove rear foot hanger mount for the exhaust can. You then GENTLY, work the system up and down to break the stiction, once free you then lift off the can and resonator as one part. The main stand does get in the way a little, but can be moved forward to allow clearance.

You then split them on the bench, or your favourite armchair in front of the fire.

Bit more release agent on the can to resonator connection and off it comes.

Refit front foot hanger and brake connection. Be careful and replace the front foot hanger carefully, make sure it's all in properly and lined up right, ask a friend to help with the positioning? Before securing torx fixings and nipping up to torque. Replace dowl and split pin in rear brake lever and test all is working including brake light.

Fitting of the can went well, link worked onto front pipe, use more WD40, gently work it all the way forward and fully located, check there's plenty clearance with the swing arm and centre stand, before fitting make sure the clamp is located to give you good access for tightening, but don't tighten. New clamp came for the front pipe connection, OE clamp is reused for link pip to end can. Had bit of an issue with the end can shield fitment. I got it to fit, better to fit the shield at the bolt end and then do the final fitment of the end can. I still have clearance issues though so it's going to need a bit of 'panel beating', until I'm happy with it. TBF, it's not rattling, just doesn't line up quite the same as before. More on this story later. Once your happy everything is sitting pretty, tighten the two clamps and rear hanger.

Run up to test for leaks, notice more improved engine sound, little bit more v-twin bellow of the enjoyable kind. Growl at the shitty exhaust shield and vow to come back to sort it tomorrow, before I get the big hammer oot ! 🍺

At least, that's what I did. Bad light stopped play for today, but hope to road-test tomorrow and give it, some pain, road conditions permitting, natch!

 

I just looked at the Harley instructions for the Screaming Eagle replacement and it doesn't show disconnecting the brake although seems smart to do so. It also doesn't show the center stand at all in the instructions. No problem getting center stand out of the way when footpeg hangers are removed?

 

Let us know if there is any difference at all in felt heat from that side.

 

Came across this. Expensive for what it is, but would mean I could retain the OE exhaust. Thoughts?

THATS THE TROUBLE WITH SITES LIKE THIS
Didn’t know the company existed before your post
Now I’ve gone and ordered the low pipe.

THANKS, I’ll post a report as soon as possible

 

How did it work??

 

It works fine, except I couldn't get the cover to fit back on neatly to the OE can. The OE can is cheap and nasty, so I've gone and bought a Two Brothers link pipe and slip-on can from the US, cheaper to do that than buy from the EU! Will be fitting that shortly and then storing the OE system away so it can go back on the bike if and when the bike is sold on.

I will be selling on the Unit Garage link pipe at some point. I should have gone with Two Brothers first. The TB can sounds at least as good, if not better than Screaming Eagle, and is £300 cheaper.

What is this for?
Thanks

 

Graphite seals arrived, used one, had to split it in half width ways and that worked to seal/take up the size difference between the link pipe connection to the header. Reused H-D clamp and ran bike up to temp. No leaks and once the smoke had died down from the run-in of the end can wadding, all seemed well. It is much louder than stock, but in a good way. Loud pipes save lives, right?

 

Worth noting, Two Brothers: S1R Slip-On System 005-5380409-B

- NEVER dyno test your bike with carbon fiber or titanium canisters installed - the intense heat and lack of cooling air can quickly burn through the canister material. Two Brothers Racing does not provide a warranty for burned canisters.

From the instructions - HD Pan America (21+) S1R Slip-On System 005-5380409-B

Eh? I think, I want to put that to the test...

 

Dirtglide, thanks, that helps a lot!

 

Hi, I’m interested in the same product could you send me a short sound test please?how does it sound with the stock exhaust? Thx Dan

 

Chap, I don't have any audio, sorry. For getting rid of the Euro5 resonator, it's worth it. The bike sounds better and is lighter and might even breathe a little better without it. I had slight and they were slight fitment issues between the link pipe and the OE can. Rather than do anything about that, I went for the 2Bros cat back system which is a whole other ball game and still makes me jump sometimes when the bike, fires up! 🆒

I have the part you're considering and it is for sale - make me an offer in UK pounds and you pay the shipping, I might just accept. I'm keeping the stock exhaust, just in case I chop it in for a Tesla! 😕 Not likely! 🇺🇲

 

Does anyone know if there is a site that this pipe listed for sale in english , I can only read english and I'm not great at that

 

Was wondering, if you remove the compensator and add an exhaust if it throws off the fuel mapping? Any negative issues that would require it to be tuned?

 

Unlikely, if it does, it will likely run slightly richer as it's more free flowing, without restriction. Euro 5 BS. The result of my removing the OE muffler and end can is a much more characterful sound from that lovely big v-twin motor; performance remains, adequate.

I have the Two Bros end can which is as free flowing as it gets. 🇺🇲

 

If you are considering removing the Euro 5 muffler/resonator, make sure you are comfortable with a bit of trial and error. Using a link pipe like the one in the unit garage worked well but required some patience to fit properly. The stock setup might not perfectly align after the mod, so be prepared for minor adjustments. If it doesn’t work out, you can always revert to the stock setup or try a different exhaust system.

 

I replaced my resonator with a mid pipe I bought for $92 and retained stock slip on. Gives bike a throaty sound without being too loud.
