TwiZted... The muffler attaches to a shortened stock exhaust bracket... I just welded a bit or bar stock in the right place and threaded it.

The stock style oem cigar muffler ain't for everybody. They are generally pretty quiet in the limited amount I have seen them.
The GasBox claims to have different baffling for more sound. My bike should be fired up any day now with my GasBox muffler.
We'll see how it sounds.
To me this muffler gives an old school Panhead look to it, such as so...

On the road today! A short little ride in Boise Id where the work was done.
Pretty quiet yet throaty GasBox pipe, solid brakes and shifts smooth with a quiet clutch. A well tuned motor runs easy.
The suspension/chassis rides very nice, surprisingly nice. Sitting low and riding tight. A pretty nice bike overall.
Thanks to Todd & Cathy at Pro Power Performance. A timely and organized outfit.
Movin’ on!




And a thanks to all the members here with ideas & suggestions. Very helpful.
I learn here everyday I login.

Well done, great looking bike. A well sorted Shovel can be an excellent all day riding machine. We all have bad memories of break downs etc, but for me that was when I was dumb and poor, most issues self inflicted. Times are different, good builds result in nice riding machines. Enjoy.
