I'm not going to suggest you do this as your results my vary... but...
My old Roadstar had a little incident with my throwover bag settling down onto the 2-1 pipe over a long ride... it was a mess.
Let the bike idle... sprayed some Easy Off on it and scraped it right off with a plastic spatula (the kind for Teflon pans). Took about 10 minutes and looked like it never happened.

I am not a fan of that style of pipes. But, you are going to lose some performance if you change to a 2 into 2 pipe. you may even have to retune the ECM, if you change from that pipe.
It may also be a Vance and Hines Propipe.
I agree about the backrest. If I was going to keep it, for hauling a bag on a trip, I would get some detachable sideplates.
I would also get some detachable side plates for the bags, if it does not have them.

ha.. trust me.. its going SOLO all the way... nothing looks better on a softail than a solo seat... my opinion anyway..
I dont care for long pipes.. so that might go second.. if its a screaming eagle my thought is I could sell it for what Id need to get what I want...
But I might find I like it once I get the red plastic bag that melted on it scraped off

I was wondering WTF that was. Looked like a weird place for pipes to discolor.

That is funny, be careful not to get the oven cleaner on anything other than the chrome, it will discolor everything.

When she sees your new bike with the solo seat and asks, "Where am I supposed to sit?"
Don't say, "In the kitchen."
Just trust me on that one...

2006 Blue fat also comes with Dyno Jet power commander.
Does this mean anything other than he wanted more power? Which I dont consider good necessarily.
I suppose tuning for a modification such as exhaust or big bore.
