Hello everyone,
My header pipe recently broke completely off the bike. I was thinking about replacing the exhaust, but am curious if a used sportster front header and muffler would fit. I have done some internet research, but I have not had any luck finding a definite answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Some will - some won't - don't go bellow 1 3/4 id, a V&H style P-clamp to mount the lower front, and some simple L or I Stanley bracket to mount the rear with plenty of washers and lock-nuts - lol - a lot of trial and error here so buy cheap - lol

I'm late on seeing this , but I use a sportster exhaust.. with screaming eagle "muffler". I welded a little bracket to the muffler but it keeps breaking (not the welds , It tears the metal tab apart). I'm using some steel plumbers tape for now but will replace that with an exhaust hanger , shortly.

A Stanley SS straight bracket 1" or you can choose longer and cut and drill - what I do -
