Default Upswept pipes for Xbones w/hinged caps??

I saw somewhere a Bones with upswept pipes. These pipes had caps like you would see on a tractor that are forward hinged and pop up and down with the exhaust pressure/stay closed when engine is off. Anyone here know what these were or who makes them? Thinking about adding a Bones to our SG and RK stable and thought these pipes looked pretty cool. Thanks.

It was in American Iron a couple of months back. I think the pipes were custom fabbed by Shade Tree Customs.

Hey Anubiss, can you recall the month, so if it is my bike, I'd like to get a copy. Thanks

Thanks Anubisss and Scooter, I will look there. So you have these Scooter? How do you like them? Real loud or not? Thanks again.

Those were similar shade tree pipes on a re-painted army green cross bones, but I dont think they had those hinged caps on them.

Scooter, looks great. What pipes are those that support them? Did you have to move your signals? Thanks, diesel

There are no supporting mounts, the top head pipe gets hacked off about 8" and then the pipes are nothing more than slip ons. The signals are in stock location. And yes they are the same pipe that' s on Kyle's website minus the brass tips. I notice the flappers on another one of his bikes and he fabbed them right up for me. Hope that helps

The slip ons are unbelievably light and once tightened to the head pipes, they are very solid.
