Question ? for big radius users

I have a friend who has some big radius pipes that he ran across but they don't have the mounting bracket. Do you think a guy can make a bracket for it or are they junk without it? I haven't seen them to match up to the WG (2010) cause he lives 2 hours away.

I not a Big Radius user. But I did recently install my Big Shots. You'll have one hell of a time trying to install those pipes without the manufacturers bracket. Just go to the V & H website and look at it.

Just go to the Vance and Hines site and call the tech line. They will sell you brackets, nutplates, or whatever you need at a pretty decent price. I bought the bracket for a dyna 2 into 2 big radius from them for under $30.00

Go to the V&H web page and look at the instructions for the Big Radius pipes. In the instructions there is a parts list of everything that comes with the pipes new. You need to see from the guy exactly what he does and does not have. You will need some other things besides the mounting bracket...there are nut plates and spaces and longer bolts and stuff too. I'm guessing if there is no mounting braket a lot of the other stuff is MIA is well.

Then just get hold of the tech line and see if what you need makes the pipes worth getting from him.
