Default Need HELP!!!!

Ok, I have a '14 Ultra Classic and am currently running V&H Dresser Duals with High Output slipons. Well I put on stretched bags, air ride and a center stand and everything was great. Well I took the bike out on some twisty roads and am dragging my center stand because with the crossover pipe I'm unable to raise my center stand all the way. So I need some help finding some headers that do not have a crossover pipe. I know there are 2:1 systems but not really looking for that I like my slipons. I've found 1 system from Freedom performance but can't find much info on them. I've found a system from bassani but it seems as a 4" slip on won't fit with those. Rhinehart has a system but they don't sell just head pipes alone. As you can see I'm stuck I've done research but need some help from you guys. So any suggestions would be great. Thanks!!!!

Why exactly do you think you need to have a center stand? I'd deep-six it in a heartbeat.

My recommendation...scrap your current setup for MGS True Duals. Problem solved.

I don't have to have it, I want to have it. I put stretched bags on for looks, and air ride for feel but also to be able to roll up dump to air and park it on the center stand and make people look.

So your bike is more pretty for attention vs function, not my type of thing but then different strokes for different folks. Even the 2.1 fatcat with a ghost pipe has the fake pipe going under the bike. You might have to have something custom made, or decide if the center stand is really worth the trouble.
