I'm going to break the rule and show my Wild Ones on my old '17 Fatboy. T

hey're 16 inches total, 12.5 bars and 3.5 risers. Fit me perfect, I'm 5-10 or so.

Do you feel like you lost any torque with those Rineharts? I believe they are Catless correct?

I haven’t dyno’d it but it doesn’t feel like it. I came off a 107 road glide with a stage 2 torque cam and this 114 on the lighter Fatboy pulls. It didn’t feel like I lost anything when I changed to the rineharts.

I have the same ones. I'd say it feels better (psychosomatic?) but maybe because it sounds like throaty mustang instead of a jetson's hovercraft or sewing machine at takeoff. I'm not a louder the better guy, but these are just right for me.

Hi,
How close would you say the finish on those mufflers matched the HS on the headers bud - difficult to spot in the photos...
Cheers

the finish is almost identical. I was planning on cutting the oem heat shield to fit the shorter slip on but the finish looks just like it, I didn’t have to do it. I really like the finish and was really surprised. Hope this helps.

I decided to change them and I am installing them now. Just waiting on clutch cable, brake line and grips. Should be here Wednesday or Thursday.
