So I am running rush slip-ons right now. I got my Bassani black turn out Pro-streets in and I am going to put them on tomorrow. This is my first time putting exhaust on a non-shovelhead Harley but I think it should go smoothly. I just hope I did not screw myself by taking the chance that they will fit the xbones even with floorboards. Keeping my fingures crossed, and if anyone has any tips I will def be thankful.
UPDATE:
They fit.

 

I hope they work out for you. Those are pretty sweet pipes....

 

Should I get new gaskets for the exhaust heads? Should I use a small bit of copper hi-temp rtv as well? I heard there are two kinds of gaskets; The kind that take a cone shaped header, and the kind that take a flat one. Anyone know anything about that and what bassani requires?

 

get brand new crush gaskets...

 

 

yeah get new gaskets, but not the SE ones. They seem to leak more than the regular old gaskets....

 

oh and if they don't work out, let me know....I have forward controls

 

+1 on new gaskets and you might get new exhaust nuts too. A few guys (me included) found that they had lost one or two a few months after install. I know lost nuts let the jokes begin. I hope that you ordered the heat shields or you're gonna wrap them because those pipes are hot as hell without them.

 

I found I lost my nuts, but that was only when I was in a relationship. I'm single and got those back with some red loctite.

 

Turn out Pro Streets are the **** but I ruined mine dragging them in right turns.
