I have a 2012 Street Glide and when I bought it the sales guy said it had Harley Stock header pipes but with Rinehart slip ons! Now can someone explain to me or show me a picture of what a Harley Stock header pipes look like on a tour bike? I kind of have a idea but really not sure after loosening the rear cylinder pipe all the way to the right muffler to get to my clutch cover this past weekend!
Yeah, mine is not like that! The reason I ask this is, in order to take my clutch cover off to replace the clutch cable, all the video's O watched said you had to move both pipes out of the way to get to the bottom allen bolts on cover. Here's what I did and found out, I took bolts out of the support bracket holding the mufflers on, then I went up to the rear cylinder and loosen the 2 nuts that hold the header pipe into the cylinder then there was a metal brace about 3-4 inches from where the right muffler clamps to the pipe, it had 4 bolts, 2 holding the rear cylinder pipe and 2 holding the front cylinder pipe. I took out the top 2 bolts holding rear cylinder pipe the wriggled the pipe and it came loose but not all the way because I still had nuts connected up at the cylinder, but there was no connection to the front cylinder pipe to the rear cylinder pipes. So that's telling me I have True Duals but I don't know what brand, unless Harley sales True Duals.
If there are two separate pipes they are duals and not made by Harley. Your stock head pipe was a 2 into 1 with a cat where they joined.

well I know the pipes are not 2 into 1! These are 2 separate pipes going from the front cylinder all the way to the left and the rear cylinder pipe comes down and straight back to the right!

Then you have true-duals! A photo will help us confirm.
