Default '98 FLHR Build Thread

So I put my FLHR up on the lift yesterday and started to tear her down for my winter make over. My initial plans are to lower it 2", 18" apes, new smooth fenders, exhaust, single brake up front and maybe a few other things too.

In an effort to not flood ya'll with my stupid questions, I'll try to keep all of them condensed to this one thread.

Soooooo first up, I'm trying to source me an exhaust but am having a helluva time finding one that I like that fits a '98 EVO. I'd really like a set of these:

They are Python Throwbacks and they make 'em to fit sportsters. If my bags are not a factor (IE they're removed), will these fit a '98 EVO RK? Or is there something similar out there for my FLHR?

Thank you in advance for the many things to come as well....
