by the way the quiet baffles had some warping around them. i had removed it for a Little more sound . sounds like you like them that way.

Yes, love the tone.

Have you ever thought about removing the tips?

Actually I desire the fishtail tips. I originally was interested in the Samson fishtail's, but the issue of baffles had me concerned. I knew V & H offered true duals w/ fishtail tips, and these became available for sale. Also, I've had V & H pipes before and their products are outstanding in terms of quality, fit and baffle selection

Looks good bud. I first had them without the tips and thought it needed more. Glad I did it.

Not a great side shot by any means but the white walls are killer on dark colored Hertages in my opinion. Here is one of mine.

Looks great. I've been searching your guys posts for ideas to steal for getting fishtails on my Dyna.

OK, I've been thinking about the V&H Tru Duals for a while so here's a question for you guys: have you noticed more heat coming from the engine? If you have a thermometer type dipstick, how much hotter does it run, if at all?
The left side exhaust makes a pretty tight curl there behind the rear jug which seems to me would make the cooling fins less effective. Also, it looks like it would concentrate the heat a bit more on the horse shoe oil tank.

No difference in operating temperture or performance. Nothing but positive results from this install, especially the low rumble and deceleration tones.
