I think they will if you change out the muffler support bracket that mounts off of the transmission. I.E. get the bracket from the Street Bob.

The reason I say that is a friend of mine rides a SB, I ride a FB., we both have V&H short shot staggered pipes which use the same muffler bracket supplied by V&H for both bikes.

I just saw that classified add... those muffs, when slipped onto that "tommy gun" head pipe wont align with either bracket.
The only way you could use those slip-ons is if you swapped the entire exhaust... along with the muffler brackets.

The Fat Bob head pipes are not like any of the other Dyna models. I think you'll need the head pipes from the SB also, then the slip ons should work.

Correct. The Fat Bob has a true 2-1-2 exhaust system, and it and the mufflers are unique to that model.

In order to use the muffs from any other Dyan model you would need to install the complete exhaust system, including all the hardware and crossover pipe.
