Thanks for the info Dude. I had originally bought the 16" Gangsters but I sent them back for the 14". I hope I didn't screw up. I also have the tru duals sitting here but I did go with the 39's with removable baffles so I can cut them down. Did you get the baffled or straight pipes? How is the heat on your pipes, the one under your left thigh? Have you had a passenger on yet and if so have they complained of the heat? I had previously read stories about the heat and I went pro-active on mine and had them ceramic coated. The pipes also looks like you have them lined up really well, was that a PITA? Explain your install on them and if you did anything specific to get them lined up and in tight up against the bike. Did you then get the bike Dyno'd after the pipe install, do you have an auto tuner? Thanks for your time in answering these questions.

That is a great looking bike. The only thing I would change is the miles on the odometer.

Mine are straight pipes. I had the baffled pipes, just too quiet for me. The heat on the left thigh can get a little hot at times. My wife has rode with me quite a bit since they have been installed, never complained. the pipes were a pain. I had to put a spacer on the bracket on the right side, because the bracket was scraping the swing arm when I lifted it up and down with the shotgun shock. i have a v&h fuelpak right now.
