Default True duals on a Fatboy???

I am tired of seeing V&H shots on every fatboy. Does anyone have true duals on thier fatty? I think that it would look pretty cool. If anyone has any photos of this combo please post them on here.

Thanks, Karl

I sold my set to a guy with a 05 Deluxe...looks really good.

I agree. I am also tired of seeing V&H this shot or that shot, but mostly Long Shots on Softails. They are the "me too" pipefor Softails.

I think true duals are sharp on the right Softail.

I had the standard V&H pipes on my 05 fatty but put the Rinehart flush cuts on the new 08 Heritage. Looks sharp IMHO

I'd like to see some pics as well, i'm fed up seeing the same old thing!
I had considered Samson pipes but can't find a UK supplier,
This would be another option,
Let's see them pic's, if possibleona Fat Boy!

I have seen true duals on a fatty. Sorry I don't have pictures though. I have an 07 and was thinking about these for my bike, because like you said, everyone seems to have the same thing. Anyhow, looking at it up close, I didn't like the looks of it. The brackets that hold the system on are exposed to much, gawdy looking and uuuuuuuuugly! But that is just me. Remember, we all have different taste!

Good luck in your search and decision!

So I went to the dealership today to kick some tires and saw a Fatboy with true duals. Of course everyone there was "busy" so couldn't ask any questions about it. I'll go back this week and get some pics of it and post them on here.

I do like the look and they leave a ton of room for bags. I also agree that the brackets were more noticable than a set of V&H shots. I guess that's just something that I'd have to deal with.
