    So i rode by the harley dealership looking to score some used sportster mufflers, figuring that they have to do something with them before they chuck them. The parts guy takes me in the back and low and behold there is an entire shopping cart (mind you they scrap them bi monthly) full of mufflers, all in like new or lightly new condition. I asked how much, and they just gave em to me, actually tried to give me an entire newer exhaust setup, free. So check it out if you're wanting to put those shorty sportster mufflers on, you might be able to score a freebie yourself!

    Funny the customer bins the stock muffs before they drive it off the lot.
    They didn't spend all that money to join the HD lifestyle and NOT be heard.

    what is even more funny is the fact that they pay harley labor rates to have their mufflers swapped.

    It may be dumpster diving but it's taking dumpster diving to an all new level!! I really tried not to post this but I've got to ask....if your dumpster diving at a HD dealership....isn't it "dumster diving"?

    Ok, I know......lol

    I called every Harley dealership to see if they had left over mufflers and they all said no. I don't know if they were just playing done or just being a pain but I tried. Maybe I'll ride over there to get some face time and maybe it might be a different story.

    But they did state they have bins but they go some where.
