Default New pipes and bars...check it out
check it out fellers....
a buddy and myself installed the Carlini 16" Gangster apes on Saturday and I installed the Samson true dual longtails today (what a pain in the ***). Getting an exhaust leak at the rear head (left pipe). The exhaust flange isn't seating properly. Gotta look into that this week. But here's some pics.

It looks great. Use Ultra copper on all of the connection joints and try a Screamin' Eagle gasket as opposed to a stock style one to get the pipe to seat. Installing true Duals is not fun, but once they are on they are on. I'll be ordering some Carlini's for my ride soon myself.

i put those gaskets on. it's the flange. the curve in the pipe is so drastic that i can't get the flange past it all the way. i haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. i shoulda known better cause i couldn't get it to seat right before i bolted it down to the motor. i'll take it apart tomorrow and fiddle around with it. i'll have it fixed before the weekend for sure.

on another note doc, these are the pipes i ordered last week from you. thanks again for probably one of my better online buying experiences.

Nice aggressive lines and styling, Phrog. Definitely not your everyday Deluxe.
