Looking for a muffler for my Indian Velo refresh. Its a reverse cone type with a welded on bracket. None available off the shelf that I can find where the dimensions match mine. Anyone know where I can get one made ?

There are stainless reverse cone mufflers available that look similar. Take it to a fab shop & ask them to duplicate the triangular bracket, and weld it on.
No chrome involved.

Or, buy a chrome universal muff, take it to the same fab shop, have them carefully cut the welds on that bracket, TIG it on to the new muff, mask off the very small heat affected areas around the welds, touch up with silver paint.
(DON'T laugh, OEM's do it on new bike systems to facilitate manufacture)
Or, use the universal mount rail to grab the triangular bracket harvested from the old one.

Heard these guys can make up anything. Never used them, just going by something I read a couple of years ago. IIRC they can supply you with parts to weld up yourself (or have welded up)

I want to make it as close as possible to original. Nothing ive seen off the shelf has the same specifications. Its a real unicorn being shortish and wider than all others for that length.

Is it these guys your thinking of ?
We’ve started the discussion.
