Default streetbob exhausts

Hello
I have a 2010 streetbob which is all still standard.

I want to start customising and I'm thinking of an exhaust system.

I love the Vance and Hines big radius 2 into 2.

Big problem though is at the moment i seem to grind the hell out of the lower muffler on right hand bends.

I cant tell from the pictures but does anyone know whether the big radius sits lower or higher on the bike.

In other words will I catch them too.

Thanks

Are you running stock pipes now?

I can't speak for the Big Radius, but I have the Short Shots and I lean the hell out of the bike and grind pegs, but not the exhaust. Also, never rode with stock pipes, bike had the Short Shots when I got it.

If it's too loud, she shouldn't be on the bike. Tell her to put her iPod on.

Co-worker of mine has a set of V&H BR on a Fat Bob and I asked him the same question. Said he has never touched them and he rides pretty aggressive.

It's a popular bike. I would go to the dealership and find one like yours with those pipes and see where they sit. You can see a lot of pictures on the vance and hines site also. I love the looks of those pipes...
