Being presumptuous is not a smart way to conduct yourself if you like staying of out of trouble.

So thanks for the input on the 2 into 1 exhaust and the short shots, now I can be sure that the MOUNTING BACKET and o2 BUNGS are all the same for 2011+ Softails regardless o0n if it is a Big Radius or Shortshot.

I am sure you can understand where a newbie to Harleys would be confused as there are a lot of posts saying the "mount had to be modified" or that o2 Bungs had to be welded or adaptors used" I want to avoid all that **** and have a clean direct bolt on like it should be.
Big radius 2 into 2 will fit for sure as well without modification, as well as long shots, short shots, and the other ones that come down at a 45 degree angle. I have seen or bolted on all of those.
