Hello all. I bought a 2013 heritage classic and put hard bags on. The Vance and Hines softail exhaust doesn't stretch to the end of the hard bags. Any suggestions on what I can do besides putting a new exhaust on?

Pipes arent one piece are they? Maybe just be able to order longer back halves if not so you dont have to purchase the whole exhaust?
Thanks for fixing that. I am a newbie to this so forgive me. I was afraid of that response. I like the hard bags as I put them on as I wasn't a fan of the soft bags. I was hoping they had a different scenario to extend the exhaust with a larger exhaust tip. Once I figure the exhaust I will take off the suits bar so replacing the pad isn't something I'm gonna do. I took the one off that was on there because it had a tassel. I got the bike at a price I couldn't pass up so trying to make it my own vision of how I want it.
Your bike is looking good. In time it will be exactly how you want it. The problem with V&H true duals is that they only come in one length; fender length. That will almost always put the ends under the hard bags.
I have Samson true duals. They are the 28.5" fishtails. That is fender length. They also make 33", 36", 39" and longer. You have to decide if you want to keep the exhaust or the bags. if you don't like soft bags, you have your answer.
