I recently noticed that one of my Vance and Hines exhaust pipes was missing its end cap. Prior to that, I had noticed that the sound of the bike had seemed to change, a bit more.... clackety, I guess, than it had been before. I'm making an assumption here that the little missing end cap is what's causing it.
I bought the bike (2016 Heritage) used with just 300 miles on it. Fortunately for me, the prior owner had done a Stage 1 upgrade on it. Unfortunately, I don't know the model of the pipes!
Does anyone know what the model of these are? Is it possible to just buy the end cap from V&H or a reseller? And, if so, how would I correctly mount it back on there?
Yeah, you can buy another end cap from V&H. There should be some holes where the end caps attach. Just go to their web site and chat with them. They'll tell you how to go...
I may have a Brand New set. I purchased a set of True Duals a while ago and they come with those but I installed the Fishtail Tips before ever installing the pipes on the bike.

Yep! Sent them those two pics (well, gave them Dropbox links) and asked about it. Got this reply:
These are Big Shot Longs, the part number for the end cap is A310BEC which sells for $57.09. Your local dealer can order this for you or to order direct just give us a call 562-921-5388.

Thanks, Mike. Looks like the V&H solution will work for me. Appreciate you chiming in! Glad you enjoy those fishtails. For some reason, I could just never do it!
