You asked so, I think they would look horrible, just like they look on every softail.

I had them on my Nightrain and loved them. Not a big fan of them on any touring model. Each to his own though. Yours is the only opinion that matters

Kinda what I thought a buddy at work keeps telling me how great they are. I have V&H true duels on mine now and I don't care for the sound. I pulled out the baffles whew that was bad....lol

I had Rinehart true duals on my 07 Street Glide for a few years. Nice sound, no issues other than it seemed everyone else was running the same set up. I decided to go against the grain a bit and sacrifice some hp/tq and installed some Samson Hell Raiser 2-2 pipes. The sound is incredible from idle, all gears and rpm ranges.

They don't have as drastic of an arch/radius as the V&H pipes do. They dump out just under the bags and don't kick up dust like Bassani Sweepers and some other radius pipes do. The best part for me was now I can see my chrome rear wheel and polished brake rotor. I installed a chrome belt guard on the left side and will be adding a chrome pulley cover to finish it off.

Had them on my Fatboy. Noticed a loss in power, sound was ok, but not that deep. Would I run them again, no.
