At the end of the day it's your bike and if your happy with it like it is then run it. You will just have to take turns a little slower. It's a cruiser after all. I have the Thunder header on my stock suspension 14 Fat Bob and it's to low for my liking, and I don't like how the header pipes run. I am switching to a Vance and Hines.
As for a new pipe the 2 that come to mind for tighter clearance are the D&D Bob cat and the Bassani road rage upswept 2-1.

Good luck shorty13
thanks for the insight on the thunderheader. It re-affirms my decision to go with something else. Im leaning heavily towards the bassani now. Just have to loosen the wifes grip on the budget a little lol
Thanks SHORTY and Robbie. I recommend having a go at making your own, if you can weld, preferably tig weld, then it's really just a matter patience. Pipes really are only limited to your imagination then. You don't need to spend big money to get performance either, it's not hard to design something that will perform well.
Anyway, just some food for thought. Good luck with it all!
