2008 Rocket III Touring - Stock Mufflers

[rocket31998]

Some of us march to the beat of a different drummer. There is nothing wrong with the accessory mufflers. I simply do not like the volume. I have always used the stock mufflers in my past bikes but this time I decided to try them because I was told they just have a "low rumble". To each his own. If I can't get a good set of stock pipes, then I'll probably get rid of the bike.

Looked like McRocket was ready to trade TORS for stock. Didn't work out?

Wow, seems pretty drastic. You still didn't answer my question (I don't mean it to sound like an interrogation...) what ever happened to the originals...just curious.

Foolishly, I got rid of them early on, before I really took some long rides on the bike (2,500 miles in one case) and realized I wasn't getting used to the noise like I thought I might. I'm not going to continue to ride a bike if I'm not comfortable on it. Life's too short.

We haven't been able to hook up yet.

I have a set as well still in the cloth tie bags. They were removed before I ever picked the bike up. They were only on it for the test ride.

I replaced the stock mufflers on my 2008 R3T with the Triumph accessory mufflers and now I wish I had kept the stock mufflers. I want to replace the accessory mufflers I have now with stock mufflers.

Does anyone have stock mufflers that will fit my R3T that they'd be willing to swap for my accessory mufflers? Or, that they'd be willing to sell to me?

I have mine. Less than 1k miles on them. I would have to figure out what I want for them but I don't need them for anything.

New takeoffs make me feel like a racoon hoarding worthless shiny bits of chrome. Typically nobody wants the stuff but you just can't bring yourself to throw it away.

Mine are all shined up and packed away in the TORS box!

After talking to JLoss, I decided to pass.

Do any of you have a backfire problem with the replacements?
