Default Does anyone else see this

On the "09" ultra classic. The fake exhaust pipe on the left side of the bike seems to come out from "under" the bike. Am I crazy?

OK. Does that mean the aftermarket pipes will also come out that way?

I might try and pick up a set of take offs cheap when someone wants to get aftermarket and see how it helps the heat.&nbsp\\; Wonder if it will retrofit or if that is part of the new frame design
