Default Anyone running a patriot defender 2-1 shorty?

I was looking to purchase this pipe for my 07 road glide and was wondering if anyone has some more pictures of this pipe installed on a bagger...

I just installed a set on my 04 FLHRS same frame as your 07. Pertronix owns patriot which was Doug's Headers. They are beautiful but I had fitment problems. The collector hits the swing arm pivot bracket in the rear and after working with Don at Pertronix he finally tried the set on his flhx and realized they (Taiwan) welded tranny brackets that were too short. I had to modthe brackets and dent the header to clear in the rear. They made it worthwhile so I kept them (they also stamped them with the wrong #). Moral of story I love them, Installed a nice stainless choke cable to control the butterfly Quiet vs. Deep rumble. Make sure they corrected the problem.
