Default Exhaust hangers if I do away with Saddle bags

I have a 2012 Project Road Glide.. Does anyone make hangers for the dual exhaust if I do away with saddle bags and holders.. I got a reply from Road Glide forums, but they are showing discontinued...

Harley tourers are pretty ugly behind them saddlebags... There used to be a outfit that had stuff for removing saddlebags but I can't remember the name??

I think the idea has promise. Although I think a stubby muffler canister(s) would look better than most of the big-azz canisters used on FLs. Pls show us what you come up with.

I'm really curious to see what direction you are going with this! I've seen bikes pulled apart and it looks terrible with out the bags and everything, are you stripping the whole thing down?

I've seen some RKs that looked pretty good without saddlebags, never seen a fairing bike do it. I like the suggestion of shorter slip-ons.

sounds interesting... chrome shocks and smooth side covers will make it look better. 2 into 1 exhaust would be half as much trouble too.

Might look at this:

Do a shorty pipe out to the side. Like the Vance & Hines Big Radius style. Don't have to worry about it then
