Default What pipes can you install w/mid controls

I was wondering what types pipe options are out there if you dont want to convert to foward controls. I might be one of the few but I find that I have more control with the mid postion.

Has anyonecome across anything?

(for 06 FXDBI)


thanksin advance

Vance & Hines has 3 or 4 different models that will all work with the stock mid-control location on SB's. They sound and look great. Check out www.vanceandhines.com

FInding pipes that work w/ mids is really a non-issue.

V&H BSS will work...had them on my 03' before I converted to fwds.

Most aftermarket pipes will fit, unless they ride low enough to interfere with the peg mounts, but then you'd scrape them every time you went around a corner.

I scrapped my mid foot peg on a right hand turn. The pipes never touched.
