Default ShortShots on a Fatty?

Anyone got or seen ShortShots on a Fatty? I am wondering if the smaller size pipes will have any adverse affect on the bigger 96ci engine.

I want the Big Radius but the cost is too much at this time.....and these stock pipes gotta go. Need something that's a louder and deeper, doesn't look hideous, with more attitude, but won't break the bank either.

Liking the looks and price of the ShortShots but they seem like a set that would be more suited for a Sportster or smaller bike.

Actually, I like the looks of the stock Fatty pipes.

My brother has Short Shots on his Fatboy, runs great, looks great. I've got them on my crossbones. Runs great, didn't have to remap or anything.

The stock pipes don't look all that bad. Would be much better if they were actually totally black instead of the mix n' match.

They are very loud either. I want something louder as well as black. Trying to get rid of all the shine.....

Sweet. Thats what I like to hear.

May be a good set of pipes to start with just to get rid of the stock. I plan on putting on a SE Stage 1 with em. And possibly DYNO in the spring.

I would just get a set of black rush slip ons until you can get a full system. Dealer hear had one and it looked good. And with the 2" baffles, it sounded nice too.

I used to have the side shots on my bike they looked clean i think those would look even better on your bike with the denim black you should check them out.

Sideshots are very expensive compared to short shots. I had the sideshots on my ride for a while. They were good while they lasted...
