All the ol' v-twin purists will agree with your choice to go with a rigid frame. Hell, Im only 18 and have a paucho rigid frame surrounding my '64 pan. I absolutely love it!

However, form is function...

I changed the 2" chopper pipes on my 2002 S&S 96" rigid chopper/bobber with the staggered duals drag pipes.
