The reason I ask is I really wanted a FatCat for my Low Rider, but I heard from many sources that there are fitment issues of longer then stock monoshock is used. I currently have an Öhlins which is about .7” longer then stock which raises my rear wheel by about 1.25-1.5”... Seems the axle bolt hits the muffler.

Have any solutions been found? Thanks.

Mchad, I am not associated with anyone or co.. So i cant answer your question. Just made the video as most of the videos i watched are of people in their garage idling and give it a short blip. I followed your self and Bowhunter when you guys were buying the S&S 2-1 and enjoyed his video where you got a sense of how the exhaust sounded on his bike. I bought the D&D blind but am happy with the sound and ended up getting the higher mounted header that bowhunter was trying to get info on. Not that i ordered it that way, just how it came. Just trying to give back so if someone is interested in the exhaust they would have a better idea of what it would sound like driving, not idling.
