Default True duals installed....
Whoever thought or said this was easy... wrong... holy cow I thought it would be a couple hour job... took me 4 hours but that was including taking the old exhaust off.

You have to remove so many things though and that's time consuming.


But, they are on. Haven't fired it up yet as I need to load the map tomorrow. Running them with the stock baffles to see how they sound.

Will post more tomorrow along with some pics hopefully.

It's quite a bit of work, but it was worth it in my case. I felt the same way thinking maybe 2 hours but it took the good portion of a day since I took my time. Lets some pics.

ya, it surprised me to take as long as it did. I was hoping to have everything done early enough to ride. Your bike and Trukbizz's bike were two of the bikes to sell me on these.

Do you run quiet baffles in yours anubisss? or just the stock baffles?

The Vance & Hines true dual fishtails look and sound cool. They're also quite loud but, not too loud.

Has anybody a 2007-2008 Fatboy with V&H Softail Duals? I'm thinking on putting them on my future new Fatty, but their web only show them on narrow tire models, and I haven't found any picture on a 200mm anywhere.

His pipes are straight with no baffles. To know Andrew is to know Tylenol!


Let see some photos. I still haven't seen your wheel installation.
