Here is the link to the exhaust - http://www.vanceandhines.com/store/d...lsystems/47219
Yup, got Short Shots on the Nightster (with forwards).

a friend talked me out of the 2 into 1 and i am glad he did. I just installed my shortshots, then went on to the Screaming Eagle stage one air cleaner, because of the AC I remapped, or flashed, the ECM.
Welcome home Buddy, get your *** on some class and get your 48!
