Just MO but duals look much better on a bagger. Considering the fact that of all the Harleys I've been around over the last 10 plus years I remember 1 or 2 running stock pipes who really cares !!

I think the MoCo went to a 2-1 because most of us change pipes immediately so they save a few bucks on each bike built by leaving off one muffler.

I think HD missed on this one. So glad I have an '09 SG. I would not have bought a 2010 SG

I like 2-1's, a LOT. Got a Thunderheader on my ride now...

I rode a '10 Street Glide yesterday with the Screaming Eagle/Supertrapp-looking slip on with a download and high flow air cleaner. Holy crap! What a bark! Can't believe it's noise compliant! I'm sold, sounds great! Looks good too.

Not sure why so many people have to have dual exhausts. IIRC most old Harleys all had 2-1 exhausts...

It should be cheaper to change the muffler, since you only have to buy one.

Wife said it looked kind of weird. I told her that when we're riding, we're not looking at the pipes, are we? She agreed on that.

i really don't think that its any cheaper than the 2009 exhaust. after all, they did have to completely redo the tooling, and since they didn't change all the baggers, then they still have to manufacture both types of headpipes.

i think, they did it for the street glide, and the road king custom because those are the 'hot rod' models (with the exception of the se models, and who knows why they do what they do with them.....) and the 2-1 is more of a 'hot rod' exhaust....
