It's time to put the new exhaust on order. I really like the look of the V&H Big Radius, but have never seen it on a Heritage Classic. Have any of you seen this setup, and if so, how does it look? I'm having trouble conjuring up a mental picture of the curved pipes and the bag behind it. Also, would I still be able to install passenger floorboards?
The pipes look really nice on the Deluxe ....... but on the Heritage I don`t know , and for passenger floorboards from the picture , doesn`t look like enough room. But hey thats just me , I would go with the V&H Long Shots. My .02 ,Steve
what he said.Really though if you going to keep the bags and such on the bike the long shots or big shot staggereds would look better.It would flow along the lines of the bike.The ig radius would look fine if you were not going to use the bags and such.My .02.

GeezerGlider, I agree with the others that the long shots or similar would look (probably) better. I would like to see the radius on the heritage with the bags. It seems almost every heritage has the same pipes.
I have the V&H staggered. I plan on changing these out later this year. I like the short pipes too, just not the curved radius on the fatboy or heritage. Maybe on the softail or duece.
Have you checked out the prostreet pipes from bassani? www.northcountycustoms.com
They have to designs, straight cut and turn out.
I'd stay far away from Bassani pipes, unless you like your chrome burned blue..
Nice looking pipes, but God only knows why Bassani doesn't use full coverage heat shields. They'd sell a heck of a lot more pipes if they did.
