Exhaust question fat boy

When I bought my bike It had shorty drag pipes, ( in sig) well Im adding different pipes that are longer. My bike didn't come with the stock bracket to mount a longer exhaust pipe. Went to the dealer its 100 bucks. So ebay shopping is alot cheaper.

Question is do I just need the black bracket in the picture, longer one. Or do I need that and the two little alum pieces too?

And is there difference between an 05 and 06 fatboy?

thanks

Check the parts on the new pipe your replacing the old one with. Most aftermarket pipes come with a new exhaust bracket.

W&H 2x2 come with a bracket because the stock one is on my bike was about as long as the frame itself, easily longer than just the swing arm.

The stock bracket is the black one. The silver brackets are to bolt the two stock shotgun pipes to the black bracket.

The little pieces go to the smaller black bracket that mounts to the transmission.

Yes....they mount up identical. Just make sure the pipes have holes for O2 sensors if your bike is injected.

As stated by joejack...Depending on the replacement exhaust, the stock bracket is removed anyway. I received a new bracket with mine. I take it you're probably not putting the stock exhaust back on?
