Default will they fit?

Anyone know if a pair of Screaming Eagle mufflers off a 1998 883 will fit on a 2007 883?

Thanks

I think the 98 still had the crossover pipe up in the headers rather than down behind the mufflers, if so I don't think they will work as they wont have the crossover pipe bung.

Yeah the 1998's have a cross over pipe up under the AC and the 2007's have one that is under the bike and the slip on's bolt to. Also the slip on's for the 07's have a bung on eash muffler to go into the lower crossover. By the way the SE slip on's suck IMO, they cost alot and do not sound all that good. Get a set of RUSH slip on-they sound much better and cost less.

Wouldn't think the bracket would be too difficult to make.

Thanks guys. How about a set of aftermarket slip ons taken from a 2009 XL1200? It's these one's here that say 2010, but notes on the listing say 2009

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

With delivery they would be in the region of 94 USD - does that seem expensive to you folks? Anyone know what make they might be?

Sorry for all the dumb questions - I'm a bit new to all this and on a budget at the moment

Yes I think they would fit, also check out new cycle shacks, they are popular on here and seem to be a good price.
If your looking at screamin eagles make sure you get the old style that say screamin eagle II on them, the newer street legal screamin eagle SP (street performance) are hardly louder than stock.
