I wish it where that easy, i got O2 sensors and then a fuel injection system to worry about with this install, not a simple rejet and roll...

major fit differences with pipes from 04 vs a newer dyna would be fitting around the swingarm, rear wheel, etc if I remember correctly,but you're talking about short pipes so that might not be an issue. Of course manufacturers sell them as being different due to the 02 sensors but that's easily eliminated. Are the brake controls in the same place on an 06? I would think that the tranny foot controls on the left might be in a different position for an 06 Bob vs an 04 due to the 06 having a 6speed if they are then the brake controls on the other side might be in a different spot. You could probably weld in some 02 sensor positions, IDK.

Just force em on there!

Sell em on ebay for as much as possible and get some new shortshots to fit, they're about the cheapest pipe you can get. Thank Eric for the pipes and by the beer next time.

If they fit You could probably weld in some 02 sensor bungs. Don't try to run without those.

Since you did a stage1 already, I assumed (yaya i know) you had already put in eliminators for your O2 sensors.

Are you running PCIII? If so, don't need the 02 sensors because DynoJet doesn't use 'em. As to the rest - shorts should have fewer fit issues, but you could always find an indy to bend 'em a bit here and there if you needed to. Or just do like OCC, and get a buddy to help you bend them around a door frame. Don't laugh - it works - sorta.

The $$ you saved on the pipes will prolly pay for the PCIII! Good find!

You are probably better off selling what you got on ebay and buying a new set. I think it would be to much of a hassle when you can get a new set of SS's for about $300.

+1 -- you already have a good set-up, why mess around by cheaping out and possibly ruining a saleable item? Get the right pipes for your bike and sell the others, or just stay with what you already have (for now) until finances improve. You'll likely be needing a dyno tune or at least a remap with the "new" pipes, so ya gotta figure that cost in, too.
