hi, anyone know for sure that the V&H PRO PIPE will fit my 2015 FLSTC ? lots of conflicting info out there on the web about them. Some say yes, some say no because of the saddlebags, even the V&H site has conflicting information. any help will be greatly appreciated
2015 FLSTC, SOFT LOWERS, WIND DEFLECTORS, SADDLEBAG GUARDS, TOURING PILLION SEAT.
Even if the pipe would fit the bag would be right on top of the exhaust. I would not be comfortable with the bag so close to the exhaust especially in slow, heated summer traffic. I know the pipe would fit, I have a slim. They are the same bike. But those saddle bags are big. Stuff would roast inside of that right bag.
Here is my wife's 2010 and you can see on my sig I run the same pipe. I just put a small patch of heat tape on the bottom of the bags to protect them. We have run them for 3 years with no issues. We just got back from a 10 day trip to Napa, and one day we stopped in Redding and it was 110 at the hotel and we still did not have a issue.
They have been good pipes for us, do not let people scare you about the clearance.

THANKYOU for taking the time to answer my question, I can see your point about being in traffic, these bikes do get hot., something for me to consider, regards

MAGIC, thanks for your reply, I will follow your advice and apply some heat tape when I buy the pipes. I trawled the net to for what seemed like weeks before finally selecting the Pro Pipe, I actually ordered a set then cancelled them after I noticed people talking about heat problems and the bags. FINALLY I can sleep easy, it's been keeping me awake at nights
