Default Stock pipes
What do you guys do with them after installing new ones? Use them as a pry bar? a boat anchor? Seriously I have a set of stock pipes complete from a 08 night train. Anyone interested?? I imagine only interest would be if someone was returning a bike to stock before reselling?

I keep mine in the "What Once Was" section of the basement.


They are about as valuable as an AIG name badge.

heck, I still have the factory "fishtails" I took off my '95 FLSTC. But you're right, guys de-modding a bike before selling might need stockers if they did not hold on to them.

If you have the room, keep everything you take off. Never say never is what I've learned.
You may put it back to stock some day even if you can't imagine ever doing it right now.
I've said "jeez I wish I had kept that" more than once.

Depending on the state you live in, you might want to hang on to them for "special" court appearances? I'm about to post my own little exhaust issue, so check it out 'cuase I found a couple of links that might be interesting.

The way laws are changing these days, you might just have to re-install them.
I am keeping mine just in case.

If you have to change to settle a fix it ticket for too loud of exhaust it will save you from having to find a stock setup. keep it and store it.
