*REVISED* Troublemakers on a FXDWG?

Anyone have Hooker Troublemakers on a wide glide? If so how's about throwing up a picture or two. I'm thinking of going to them from my V&H pipes but want to get a feel for appearance. Slash cuts preferrably.

Came real, real close, but last minute decided they would look too short on my WG, especially in two-up mode. Went with the big radius instead.
If you go for it, make sure to post a pic or two. I'd love to see how they acctually look on a WG!

Cheers... Ben.

RE: *REVISED* Troublemakers on a FXDWG?

OK, here's what I need to know. The Hooker Troublemakers that I want are the radius style pipes as shown here:

The problem is this style is listed only for a softail or a sportster. The slash cuts for the Dyna model is shown here:

Would the softail/sportster pipes fit on the dyna model? Front pipe appears as if it wouldn't be a problem. Rear pipe may have an issue with the passenger footpeg.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Also looks like the rear pipe may go right over your oil fill/ dipstick.

Spoke to the guys at Hooker. The reason they terminate the Dyna slash cuts differently is because of ground clearance issues (although I still don't follow that reasoning). Since I'm already slammed in the back they STRONGLY suggested that I not try to make the softail/sportster slash cut pipes work via mounting mods.

Crap. I don't like the looks of their dyna pipes so I guess I'll stay with my V&H.
