Hey man. I guess it depends how you ride. I used to ride sport bikes before I got my FatBob and I have never scraped these new throwbacks. They do sit much higher than the stock pipes and as far as i can tell at least on my bike it looks to me like the foot pegs would hit way way before the pipes.

I know it's an older post but perfect for me to ask how are the Throwbacks holding up? I'm looking to get these for my 2014 Low Rider. Did any of you have to rewrap them? Or any head pipe cracks?
Here's a review from Dennis Kirk:
Installed these pipes on my 2013 Street Bob (FXDBP, 103 motor). Gave it an old school look. Nice low deep rumble at idle and screams without sound fade all the way up to wide open throttle. I did remove the baffles. Great craftsmanship on the heat wrap. Pipes did have partial heat shield, something I did not expect. I changed stock air filter with K&N filter. I do have these pipes paired up with RC components fuel management, also bought from Dennis Kirk. I will write a review for that as well. Thanks for the great product, service, price and fast delivery. Why go anywhere else?
Is that true about the partial heat shield?
