Default Vance & Hines Staggered short shots question

Hi all, I have the chance to pick up V&H staggered short shot exhausts as i have an 03 standard and these are off a later bike with the sensor holes i was wondering if it's just a matter of blocking the holes up for them to fit mine or are they a totally different fit to the older model.

Your help is much appreciated

How much "later" a bike are you talking?

They should fit, but call just to be sure. They make plugs for the holes for the 02 sensors. From what I can find they fit 1986-2010 so you should be good.

Wont fit actually. 96 CI to 88 CI...even the frames changed so that in turn will change the bends of the pipes.

Harley Goodies has the right info - the pipes will fit from '86 to present... and like others have said, you'll just need plugs for the O2 sensor ports.
