Adding a kicker to a heritage
I have a 94 Heritage and just got a kicker for her. Now I need to find a set of pipes that not only sound good but will clear the kicker and pedal. If there is anyone that has added a kicker to a heritage Id love to hear from you. Problems, fixes, and so on.
I was looking through a mag. the other night and saw a set of Python 3's that might do the job. Any advice on these pipes or others that may work would be great.

I look at it more as a sobriety test. In fact I doubt you will be catching me kick her over either. It will look cool on the side of the bike however adding to that heritage style.
The problem im going to have is the kicker cover is an inch or two deeper than a normal tranny cover to allow for the starer and ratchet gear. Thus I well have to find pipes that will clear it.
I have had kick bikes in the past. You just never know when a battery will go south on you. You would think Harley would have kept the kick pedal as it was once the only way to start their bikes other than pushing them down the street.
I'm going to add a crane ignition with the start mode switch. When its on kick only one cylinder will fire for the first few revolutions to minimize the chance of kickback.
I had an old Yamaha SX650 kickback on me once. Though the motor was less than half the size, I still had a limp for a few months. Adding the new module should go a long way in avoiding that happening again.
Though you do see a few Evos with the kicker added I'm surprised that its not a more commonly seen addition to bikes like the heritage or fat boy. It really adds to that nostalgic look.
