Default Pipe help needed -

I am looking for a set of pipes, the problem is
I dont have a picture of them (except in my head)
I have no idea who makes them, or what they are called

I saw them this weekend at a rally, but never could talk to the owner.
My husband said they are street sweepers, but I have spent the better part of two days looking and I dont think they are.
The are SHORT - barely past the engine
The curved downward so much they almost looked to make a half circle

If I were drawing them, I would place a dot in the middle of the paper, circle around it in a continuous motion and stop facing downward, I almost think of the way a string is rolled round and round into a circle with the end flapping downward.

I hope I am making sense to someone -- I WANT these pipes
I have a 01 Fatboy Custom Trike

any help or insight is appreciated
I have looked at the major players in pipes and their street sweepers and its none of them. They all look too long. These were seriously short pipes

Jesse James Hell Bents maybe ($1000)? Not worth the money IMHO.

Thanks for the video and the reply, but thats not them
these actually pointed straight down and were shorter than those
they really did look like a circle, or semi circle at least

thanks for trying

Harley Dude - I have been researching those LAF, and I love them. They are not the ones I saw, but they are seriously close. I am trying to find a good audio clip of them. Thank you

golfblues - those are just too long, these almost went straight down from the top, those medustas are bad *** though

dope- I cant see any of those images

thanks so much for the help on this

IMHO these sound way better than LAF or Hell Bent.

I saw that video on youtube, I wonder how they would sound without him playing with them. Just running, he is showing off the flames (which are bad *** mind ya) but I would love to hear them just normal - ya know

As for the second ones, I hate them. I one of them rare souls that detest long pipes. I hate that popping sound. Thanks SOO much for your help with this.
