Talking Pipes finally installed!

Here it is. Finally! I went with Samson's Custom Shop Step True Duals with 4inch outlet and billet endcaps. Also went with an Arlen Ness Big
Sucker SS stage II, and Power Commander V for the fuel management. Haven't tooken her for a ride yet, but I will soon. If anyone is considering true duals on a softail the bottom flange nut on the rear is very difficult, that is just a warning. There was no room for a socket, I just used a wrench and torques down by feel.

I have heard most Samson pipes but I have never heard this set up. How does it sound???? I be it sounds good

I had one of those Japanese billboards on my bike a few months ago as well! Recently moved back to the states! I had to hold the plate on with zip ties when I put on the conversion kit that dropped it below the taillight.

Are you active duty military or Native?

Either way welcome to the forum and the bike looks great!

Those pipes look really good. Plan on tightening those flange nuts after your first couple rides. Had to do it to mine, but after that is was good.

Sweet pipes man....Does Samson make those ends longer? It looks like those are 28.5" or so. I wonder if they make a 32.5"...i like em...could be a trend setter...

Talking

The pipes sound good to me and they have a very obnoxiously loud rumble. Just what I was looking for. My apologies for so little pics. For some odd reason i can't upload the rest onto the site. Yea I wish they were a little longer too. But
I guess this way I wont forget how long my tail is and back them into something
and or someone.Also I am no longer on Active duty here I just stayed because I could stay at the same job, and just make a lot more money as a civilian.
