I am not aware of any headers only that Vance and Hines sells for the softails. It looks like you will need a full system if you want to lower your pipes with Vance and Hines headers. They make a number of header options for baggers, but not softails. I'll pm you pricing on Big Shot longs. Drew

what you need to do if you truely want to keep the slipons and just change thier position is look at other stock softails, custom,bones,train etc. if one of those models have the stock pipes set up the way you want yours then all you gotta do is find a set of take off headers from that model and the mounting brackets to go with it. the frame on the softails are the same as far as the mounting points are concerned. take off pipes are plentiful and cheap, sometimes free.
