Bought a used bike, need help with exhaust
I bought a 1993 Heritage Softail today from the original owner. Bike has just a little over 15K on it. It was cared for and well maintained. The only work was a jetted carb and SE slip on mufflers. The original owner had the baffles removed from the mufflers. The bike is way to loud for me. I have searched CL, EBay, and the HD P&A catalog for replacement baffles.
I am pretty confused with the baffles. HD apparently doesn't make them for my bike. There are baffles on EBay, but how do I know which one's will fit? Any guidance will be appreciated.
Here are some pics of the bike.

Were you able to test ride it before you bought it?
Stock mufflers for it should just about be free on eBay.

Those pipes were probably made by Cycle Shack for HD. Contact Cycle Shack for which baffles might fit.

Nah... I updated the thread over the purchase of this bike. Original owner who was completely **** about people touching his bike wouldn't let me ride it. But, he did take it out and I followed him. Worked out good for me. I picked this up for 5K. Rode it home and it purred at 70.

Nice bike. Sell the loud pipes and buy quieter ones, or a 2 into 1 which will flow better than plugged-up shorties.

15 May, 2014 Update-Got my baffles yesterday. Fit them into the mufflers-Perfect. Drilled out the nut/bolt retainer holes, secured baffles in muffler and installed on bike. Entire process took less than 1 hour. Started it up and it has a nice mellow rumble at idle and a recognizable, but livable tone underway. Thanks for the advice.
