I bought a 2010 Street Glide in January of 10. I was one of those who thought, Man, I'll have to put duals on it, baggars look weird with only one pipe... I never did. I put a SE Nightstick slip on, and liked it. My 15 RGS has a Fuel Moto "E" Series 2-1 now,, I obviously fell in love with the looks. Short answer, NO it's not hard to "Get used to it" It's your bike,, if YOU decide you like the looks, go for it. I don't LOVE, but neither dislike the looks of the Big radius turn downs, (that dump right below passenger right peg) on a bagger,, but you see them! It's your bike,, It's also proven that 2-1 gives you better power. If you want, there are companies that will sell you a 300.00 DUMMY pipe to hang on the other side,,,, Now that's a waste of cash IMHO!

Anyone want to trade their Dragula 2 for a Fulsac DX Head Pipe and a set of CFR's?

I have. I mustered the best shocked look I could and said what happened to it. Had them going before I told them it was 2>1

I can not install a 2-1 pipe on my FL. To me it looks wrong and sounds even worse. I was thinking of removing my left saddlebag to cut down on the weight and improve the aerodynamics. Just can't decide.

Like already said, it's all preference. Personally I like the dual pipes.

I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2 into 1 Dragula.

to put on a ghost pipe.


Did anyone else feel this way and get used to it?


I am sick of changing exhaust and wasting money.
Man you must have a lot of time to think.

What is the big deal with a ghost pipe?

I think my bike would look funny if I ever went back to two pipes...but I would never do that.
