Default Akrapovic slip-ons

Hi,

A local shop is running a special on Akrapovic slip-on for Sportsters (14-20).
That is all know so far.
I can't find any reviews , did anyone ?

They also have a full system called ASSTD OPEN at a very good value, I saw and heard those installed on a 2012
They were looking great, very loud pipes.
It seems the fit 2006-2013
What would be the reason to don't fit later models?

Nothing is shown for whether the slip-ons use the balance pipe from HD and the same for the full system.

You need to look at the specs of your bike compared to 2013 for the position of where the balance pipe connects and the size of the O2 sensors.

On your bike the rear master cylinder is by the belt on earlier models it under the bike. Another subtle change for a difference to exhaust mountings.

I've looked at the installation manual and my bike it might fit. not sure about the sensors.

I'll see if I can see it, in person.

Thanks again!
