Default Street Bob - VH Short Shots

All,

I sold some of my unused personal belogings and I was able to get enough to buy some short shots for my SB.

Did a couple of searches and noticed that the going price is about $360 plus shipment. If you have bought at a lower from a seller you can recommend please let me know.

Also, if you installed them yourself, can you tell me about your experience.

Thanks,

Harlista01

The install was a piece of cake. Get yourself some new Screaming Eagle flange gaskets before you start. Sometimes the old ones will work just fine, but for a couple bucks, I figured better safe than sorry. As for where to buy, I bought them cheaper and free shipping but the place has since gone out of business. Good Luck!

Save a few dollars and don't get the Screamin' Eagle gaskets. Get the standard Harley Davidson ones. They are the same exact gasket.

Be really careful with that black ceramic coating....I installed on my Nightster and barely touched the pipes with my socket wrench when tightening up to the motor and made a couple of light nicks. It doesn't take much.

Thats what I hear, I am planning on wrapping them with paper or plastic before I install them.

I got mine (in black) a bit cheaper with free shipping from Dennis Kirk. I also picked up new gaskets as well. I did the swap myself - going from a full SEII exhaust setup - without any help OR having a lift / jack.

Getting the SEII's off by myself was the hardest part due to the angle of the bike on the ground and not having a second set of hands. Note though that I opted to take them off as a full system, and not in pieces.

Totally doable, and I'm only a weekend wrencher if that helps...

OH! And yeah, the black coating is about as delicate as our black denim paint. Meaning, it marks real easily!
