Default Vance and Hines

Hi all;
Will Vance and Hines short shot staggered Black pipes fit on a 2011 Sportster 48 ? Anything I will have to do other than install?

Regards
Donnie

Yes, they will fit. No, you do not need to do anything else to it.

Some people don't like Vance & Hines pipes, but plenty of people do. Some people like obnoxiously loud bikes and others don't (especially the the LEO attention they attract). Go with what you like and ignore the rest.

Yes, there are a lot of these pipes around, but that's due to the fact that they look good on Sportys.

I always thought the reason why V&H pipes are so popular is because they are great pipes.

People that say they don't like them because everyone has them, well everyone on here has a Harley. Why don't you buy a metric then?
