I am running Samson true Duals on my softail.
Where exactly is your oil tank?

If it is behind the upright tube (part of the frame) that goes right behind the rear jug then you should be fine.

If the oil fill cap is by ur right leg then you should be okay as I saw it at a bike night last July.

Yep those pipes are now in the shed. There are 3 pieces to the exhaust pipe and 2 pieces of heat shielding.

Those are not Samson's they are a generic set I found on craigslist for $150 then had to add baffles and I had to buy a Samson shift linkage to get them to work. (Had to install the linkage upside down but it worked.)

There is no reason the Samson's won't fit then.

Have a '96 Heritage Softail (FLSTC) that came with Samson true duals and straight pipes all the way back. VERY loud before I installed baffles from Cycle Shack. Then just real loud. Kept the Samson head pipes but replaced the straight pipes from the end of the header pipes with stock Ultra classic mufflers. Had a big increase of power as the straight pipes even with baffles did not produce enough back pressure.
