Anyone fitted softail pipes on a Dyna?
I know there's a couple on here that have done it, I just can't remember there names. I've always LOVED the looks of these pipes, and if they were black out, and wrapped with black, I think it would give my bike an old school look. Watcha guys think? Anyone think I'll run into any problems mounting these pipes? I know I'd probaly have to make some sort of different mounting bracket, but I don't think it'd be to difficult.
Blah, forgot the link. Here ya go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Exhau...mZ400000056315
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I think those pipes will look real good on your ride. Definitely wrapped.
Thanks on the compliment. I really wanted the softtail look pipe. As far the bracket... Some 1/4 inch steel plate, 3/4 rod, a torch, a drill, a good set of cut-off wheels and a welder.
OH YEAH!!! Don't forget the RATTLE CAN!!!!

I think that the TH looks great, and I know that they add some of the most performance that you can get, bar none. I'm sure that you would lose HP with the Big Growl pipes, and I think that you have about the best that there is, and wouldn't change a thing.

I've put several Softail pipes on my WG including some of the Big Growl pipes. I now have the Cycle Shack short 2:1 for the Softail on her.
You just have to be a little creative with the mounting bracket. I know that Tree88 used those same pipes on his WG. He made a bracket out of 1/4" steel that mounted to the transmission. He bent it at angles so that the bracket would be offset to the pipes and didn't have to do any welding.
This is the post that Tree88 made about making the bracket.

Hmmm... I didn't think about the shock clearance. Here's a pic that someone photoshopped for me of the pipes on my bike. The shock clearance might be an issue.... grrr

Don't get me wrong, I love my thunderheaders, but everytime I see these pipes, I think it gives my bike more of an old school look and I love it.
