Considering putting V&H BSS on a 2010 Fatboy. I also want to put bags on my bike without relocating the directionals. Does the BSS leave more/less/same room for bags than the stock pipes? Also, any suggestions on V&H pipes that would give the best bag AND ground clearance while still providing an increase in power over stock? Thanks.
Depends what bags you're going to use.
I have a 2008 Fatboy (looks the same as the 2010), HD Fatboy bags with quick disconnects, and a V&H Big Radius 2-1 pipe. There's still lots of clearance between the bags and pipe.
You'll have to go to my album on here to see the bags.
