Maybe I'm all wet but from what I see the rear header is blocking you from checking the engine and transmission oil.

It sure looks close, I wouldn't want to try checking my oil while its hot unless I was wearing some gloves

I'm afraid those pipes will discourage one from doing a routine check on engine/transmission oil.

I can wrap my old blued out OEM Headpipe with the drilled out cat! The shields hide the mummy! This puppy is gonna be hot, I really like the looks but even with the cool down mods I'm afraid this one won't be for rider comfort.

Not my cup of tea, the passenger has to be suffering in the name of vanity.

I think that rear pipe routing to be a little odd. I had the V&H true duals on my '05 RG and the rear cylinder pipe came out and dropped down on the left side to the left rear muffler. Took a LOT of heat off the rider's right leg from stock pipes.

I’m going to wait until this fellow gets back from his vacation that has done some custom exhaust for the shop I have used in the pass for tuning and dyno work. He seems to think true duals would be a good fit for the Triglide along with some other mods. Going to do my home work and not rush into anything. Thanks for all your post. I will keep you posted as to what I do and how it works.
I’m sure it could be done…heck, if you through enough money at any problem you’re apt to get what you want! Like M3; my concern would be loss of torque; IMO, the stock TG barley has enough without sacrificing any to a true-dual system. Personally, I would go with the Fuel-Moto Jackpot head pipe, their stainless steel head pipes are tried and proven to work well on the TG! The reason they are on back order is because they work and owners love Jamie’s customer service.

We also have to remember the head pipe fits more than a Tri Glide.
