Thanks for the clarification. After I posted I looked more closely at the difference between the 05 and 06 pipes. I did notice the difference in the way the rear header more closely followed the jug with the 06 pipe than with the 05 pipe. Thanks again for the clarification. I have been considering this pipe for my 06 Low Rider but am concerned about the upsweep. How much would it interefere with a rider when cruising two up? I do like the though.

Thanks for the input...
there is no real upsweep on the fatcat... the boarzilla has an upsweep. The boarzilla is for over 105" motor. Stock to 103" get the fatcat. The pipe is nice and low below the pax pegs. Less chance of interference than stock pipes. The sound, performance, and quality of the D&D is outstanding. They only cost about 550 through zanottis too... I like the look of the 06+ better than mine.

I have the Fatcat muffler with the quiet baffle, in matt black off my 07 FXD for sale if you are interested. I wanted something more quiet, so I switched to a Supertrapp muffler.
PM me if you are interested, it is like new, maybe 1500 miles or so.

Twist that throttle and it will roar, but nowhere near the obnoxious level of straight pipes or shorties

another fatcat
Bart, here's a pic of another D&D Fatcat on an '06 StreetBob. My passenger has ridden 1500 miles on the back with no complaints(...about heat from the pipes). Actually, not many complaints at all! We took our honeymoon on this bike. Jay
