Rich, I knew you would trip, lol. You are the one who said from jump street that you wanted duals. I always thought they would be cool too. For me, now that I see them? I only see more $$$ to finish the vibe. I'm with Jam, doesn't really do it for me. I see from your last sentence it wasn't all you expected either? Good news is they are trying and getting product to market quickly. Performance numbers will make or break this model. Hope this big dealer convention this week nets us some parts options soonly.

It’s going to take some time for me to come up with a good
reason to change what I have now. I love the looks of the
duals except that monster pipe crossing under the bike.
Wonder what the left side looks like?


Can’t wait to hear them and see any performance data.
I’ve always wanted duals, now that I can have them I’m
not so sure, DAH?

Yep think I’ll have to join you and Jam on this one.
I have a good thing going now no need to change that.

The head pipes yes but I'm guessing the muffler brackets mount to the rear fender. Only place that could provide support.

Dang! For a second there, I thought you stole my pic. I agree the true duals look great but I like the simplicity of the 2 into 1 plus no extra weight with all that added pipe.

Nope. They look like a poor mans version of the Road King pipes.

Besides I don't think there would be a heck of a lot of sound difference anyhow.

+1.
Truly, the FLD needs to stand on it's own. It's not a friggen road king, it's a dyna and everyone needs to quit comparing it as one. HD made it a winner in its own right, but it is what it is and it ISN"T what it isn't.

LOL, I can finally laugh about it all and see the humor.
