I have a softail and a Dyna. My Dyna has a thunderheader with the same bracket and pipe. My softail has a thunderheader and it's completely different. Here are some reference photos.

See how the pipe sweeps around the timing cover. Only one softail thunderheader does that and it is specifically for floorboard Models (which would mean it would fit the OPs bike). All of the rest of the softail thunderheaders split the pipes like this....

And don't use a bracket like what's for sale. I mean for this to be informative and given the fact that the thunderheader fits a Dyna it actually makes it more valuable for sale as all the Dyna guys prefer that pipe. Take the info for what it is and I hope someone buys this because they are excellent pipes and this one is in great condition.

That being said I hope the buyer is getting what is correct.
Thanks for the info, yes they are great pipes hopefully someone with a dyna can pick them up
