Its dark now, maybe tomorrow. I have been lurking and reading the threads for a few weeks now and working on my bike getting it ready for its debut. I am down to still needing a few more things but Its rather cool already. i will post a before and after pic. BTW...going with 36" mini Cholo's was the better choice for me.
Thanks for this post! I have been wanting to do this for years on my 91 Heritage. Now it's a winter project with some Road King bags...Pics will follow.
Looks sweet, man. Love that color combination on a Heritage. Can see you've put a lot of work into the bike and it really shows. Any plans for lowering?
You're making me wish I would have got the 36s! Did you go baffled or no?
The bike is lowered with Progressive 422's in the rear and I havent done the front yet ONLY because of time. I have a Progressive Drop in kit for the front and as soon as I get time, its going down. In time I will get the shotgun shock setup but this is fine for now.
I went with baffels because I was worried about it being too loud. I like the fact when you put your hand in the throttle its still freaking loud as hell.

Is it somehow possible to make Samson True Duals to fit 1987 Softail?
What are the other possibilities other than Samson that offer same kind of pipes that would fit Softail 1987?
