No worries. Mine won't quite fit. What shop did it for you? Albany?

Bars look great as well,

Is that brake pedal a reduced reach or stock ?

Love my BSS on my '09 Dyna. Should sound great on your Fat Boy. Soundclip when possible. Merry Christmas!

did you get them to work? everyone is being really slack and my lowrider is really needing something! debating on seeing what I can come up with!

Sure did. Got some V&H Longshot staggered (I think that's what they are called) cheep. Came of a '10 Wide Glide. Just had to cut the rear header pipe just in front of the cross-over pipe (not all the way through) bend it back about 1/2 inch. Tack weld, check and double check then fully weld. The stock heat shields needed no mods.

I made a rear bracket using stock mounting holes and incorporated the rear foot peg. It sounded a lot better but still a little quiet so I have just taken the baffles out and will see how that goes.

Nelsondude, thanks for this reply your bike looks great! Any chance you would share your bracket adjustment? I want to put the Vance and Hines Big Shots Longs on my 2018 Fat Boy107 but everyone is telling me they won’t work. Do I just need to remove the passenger pegs? Would appreciate any info. Thanks!
