Default Breakout exhaust question fr newbie

So I have researched this in other threads but seems maybe they were older posts and such so putting it out again as I'm ready to buy an exhaust (finally).
I really like the look of the V&H short shots for the BO (have seen pics) but the sites don't list it as fitting the BO. If not, how have others put it on? Any others who actually have it on their Breakout? Would appreciate info/tips (for example, which bike do I "say" I have when ordering it online??)

Also like the V&H 2 into 2....but seems everyone has it, although I'd get in black.
Lastly, saw magnaflow coming out with one. Anyone know when?

Really appreciate any info....either here or via email.

Thx from San Diego

I have V&H Big Shots Staggered installed. They say it doesn't fit BO but the exhaust was installed without any issue and a good clearance from oil lines.
I also added optional quiet baffles and I'm absolutely satisfied of the choice.
As far as I heard and read, Short Shots should be same story.
Hope this experience could help somehow.

ive got the vance and hines big radius 2-2. just something about it... the lines complement the bike and body lines really well. plus, the sound is perfect. ive heard louder (which i didnt necessarily want)... these are perfect. well more than loud enough without making my ears ring for half an hour after a ride.

i will say that i like the look of the basani radial sweepers... but they are f'ing LOUD.

Appreciate that......if I go online to order, each site asks you to list which bike you are purchasing for. Does this matter? (not sure if they send different fitaments or hardware or ?)

yes/no. best to make sure you are getting the right part. a few inconsistencies (mostly clearance issues) with the generics.

this for a new breakout?

mine are the dynamic ringz - white halo around the outside edge when running, the flash amber when a turn signal is kicked on. just running the harley smoked lens kit over the top of them.
