Default Road Rage exhaust on a Heritage - does it scrape?

Hi,

Looking to install a RR 2-1 pipe on my new Heritage, but I have read it scrapes on hard right handers?

I don't like the new "mega power" design, I prefer the 12111J design with the straight pipes - pictured here.





Thanks for any feedback from users of this exhaust.

Have a RR on my '07 heritage. Purchased Pipe in '07. I really like the sound, performance of the pipe. Stock shock is maximum stiff. Never have scraped the pipe but will drag the boards in corners from time to time. Was way worse when running with shock on softer setting but still never scraped the pipe. Not sure about frame design differences {clearance to ground) between '14 and '07 so I'm not sure if this will answer your question or not.

We have the Bassani Road Rage 2-1 on our bike, model number 1S18R, when you go to the site and look up the fitment for the '12 FLSTC you see our bike, they used it for the fitment of their pipe on a bike with ABS. I have not hit the pipe yet, but, than again we have the Shotgun Shock on our bike and we run it full up all the time.

Here are a couple of vids of our bike.
the first one we did of the pipe and the second one is from the Bassani web site of our bike.

Thanks, but I was specifically looking at the pipe in the pic I posted. I don't like the pipe with the bends in it that you have on your clips.

Isn't it the one right above you on the Springer? Looks like the same pipe to me.
