Default V & H competition series pipe

New to the forum, and have a question on a Vance and Hines pro pipe. I'm worried about dragging this pipe in the corners. I just bought a 2014 Fat bob, and starting to fix it up, the pipe and air cleaner are the first things I'm changing. Thanks for your help, Dave.

People usually raise their bikes for more clearance or u can just take the corners slower.. Lol I take turns hard and I have some v&h slips .. Scraping is just part of the turn for me now lol

If you like to turn hard, get a pipe that wont scrape, there are plenty of nice pipes to chose from.

D&D Bob Cats, RSD Slant, and my Bassanis 1D5250s are a few.

The V&H pro pipe has great clearance for curves.
Pro pipe hs

Bassani B1


Bassani does make some pipes that have decent clearance.

FYI I have a propipe shortened 8" with 13" shocks and it still scrapes just before I drag my shorty pegs. New two brothers pipe looks to be promising. Check out the BUB lakester as well.

Thanks, congrats on your new Fat Bob. Take your time on choosing pipes, I know I changed my mind several times and even so I still wish I had gone a different direction.

I am using 12.5 inch shocks on my 05 super glide.
I have never dragged with either the pro pipe or Bassani b1 pipes.
Maybe you ride a little harder than I do.
I do keep up with Goldwings.
