Default Python exhaust

Hi all

I posted this on the new members section but think maybe here maybe better. I have been looking through some of the older posts but haven't found much regarding the python venom. I am thinking of getting these for my 2010 fatbob I already have the stage 1 all done just want more noise and power. Has any one got any experience with these pipes and do they bottom out when cornering any help appreciated

Cheers

Rob

I run Python Staggered Duals on my 05 Superglide.

The pipes are different than the Venoms, but look the same where they make the bend from vertical to horizontal on their way back.

If that is the case, it is important because that is where my pipes drag on sharp right hand curves. I've scraped them but no serious marks or damage. And the times I scraped them I knew I was going to. There is plenty of clearance unless you are really pushing it. If I shift my weight inside at all, they don't scrape.

The Pythons on my bike are top quality. The shields stay cool enough nothing has ever melted against them.

They are loud, but I get compliments on them. They are a rumble, not a blare. At highway speeds I wear ear plugs.

Thanks for the info, it's the venom radius I like if they are to loud can you quieten them down a bit if required?
Compared to the V&H big radius they are cheaper but believe they are made by them so the quality should still be there
Lets hope if I get them I don't scrape them to much

2-3 years ago I looked into adding baffles to quiet the pipes. They were made back then. I never bought any.
