My old one did. Now, I have one of the new ones. It doesn't get in the way UNLESS I want to put my feet up on the mustache bar.

I forgot that part! The mustache bar was unusable for my right foot.

Did you notice any more heat on your leg with this exhaust over the oem?
Every bike I ever had, when I changed the exhaust I always regretted it due to the pipe location.
On my Honda Shadow, the stalker II pipes set my pant leg on fire twice before I scrapped it.

You should be able to, but it would be involved. I'm thinking you'd have to remove the mid-mount pegs & brackets currently on the bike, install the more forward floorboard mounts for a Heritage (or a Fatboy if you need pipe clearance), buy & install all the parts required to relocate the rear brake pedal forward, & then do the same with the shifter on the left side - & if you didn't install a new primary cover, you'd have a hole in existing one where the mid-control shifter was mounted to deal with. And, of course, you'd need the floorboard parts. It wouldn't be cheap.

Just saw this post - it brought back a lot of memories! My wife cut her riding chops on one of those 650s...it's a Suzuki Savage single lung. I remember astronomical gas mileage, no fuel gauge & no trip odometer, & so nimble I think I could have done figure 8s in my living room. We did our first overnight trips while we owned that bike! I hope you son enjoys it!
