Question Design Help

Good day,

I am finally replacing my head pipesfrom stock. I have a 2005 RKC (FLHRSI). I was looking at the Vance & HinesDresser Duals, but I was told that the pipe next to my left leg would getreally hot since the exhaust is no longer divided. I had someone make asuggestion that I go with the Vance & Hines Power Duals. They do not fit mybike without modification. My question is:

  1. Is it worth the trouble?
  2. What all do I have to do to get it to fit?
  3. I plan to add a Power Vision, will they have tune for this setup?
  4. If not, should I just take it somewhere reputable and have it dyno'ed?
Thanks for taking the time torespond! I had a tree fall and lost my exhaust money…I have it back now and am ready to get it done!

Proposed setup
  • Vance & Hines Power Duals
  • Vance & Hines Monster OvalsSlip-ons
  • Power Vision

Has anyone made the power duals fit on a RK that it wasn't designed for?

We just ordered the Khrome Werks headpipe that goes under the frame for a customer complaining of excessive heat on the rear cylinder headpipe on an '04 FLHTCSE. It will be interesting to see how it performs w/ the Rinehart mufflers vs the Rinehart full system we will be taking off.
