    Ozymax,

    From what I could find, the stepped Samson are (but don't quote me on it) 1 7/8 into 2 inch into the collector with a 4 inch can.  Baffles are available from 2 to 2.5 inch + quiet ones.  I got a few email replies from them, I'll try and get an answer.

    We should start a thread on how many different systems and slipons have been on 1 bike.  I think you'd be right up the front.  If any info comes back, I'll still post it so people know.

    Sorry about causing a hoo-haa in the middle of your thread.

    and no way would I have the most pipes fitted.
    Only had full stock, V&H 2:1 Big radius, then same pipe but with modified baffle, then stock again but no cat or flap valve, then with modified stock mufflers, now back to V&H 2:1
    has had 2 motor configurations (and a 3rd on the bench) 3 throttle bodies and 4 different A/C on it though

    I'm now on the third full system, but have had 7 sets of slip ons with various combinations of baffles.  Tried out almost as many seats though.

    and so you move to the off topic section and join the fatboys club. It's your choice, weight loss will be the cheapest HP your bike will ever get. If in fact that is something you wish to do.

    Zilla arrived today and instead of waiting for the new motor I thought I would fit it and see how it goes.

    LOUD very fucking LOUD
    Fit is absolute shit house. had to modify the muffler support bracket to clear the rear brake reservoir and cut off some little bracket on the header pipe about where mid mount controls would go so it didn't rub on the rear brake rod
    There is NO way this pipe was made to fit a FatBob
    Quality of finish is also very average with surface rust on the headers behind the heat shields luckily.

    I would never recommend this pipe to any one no matter how good it performs.

     here you go tim. doesn't look to bad over all


    but the slash cut is on a wierd angle


    right under the letter "R" is what remains of the bracket that hit on the brake rod, cut off about 30mm, will take it all off when I pull the pipe in a couple of weeks 


    Now have 6mm clear of the master cylinder cap after spacing the mounting bracket off the transmission 


    the additional spacers needed

    For all the problems, you are right, that's looks OK.  Is that the standard master cylinder on the ABS models or have you changed it?  Mine without ABS uses a similar size and shape to the front M/C.  That might be where the clearance issues are. Still looks good.  If you ever need any weird arse bushes or stuff machined from SS, aluminium etc, give me a yell.

    Young bloke is a fitter/machinist.

    Cheers

    Thats a good thing about this forum lots of guys helping each other and many times never meet them before.

    Spacers are all good mate. I just use Aluminum tube but I will make a new mount bracket over the next few week so I will only need the supplied spacer for the top back bolt.

    Riding tomorrow so needed to do something about the noise level. Pulled the muffler and the baffel out and went to see the pipe man, busy till Wednesday, bugger.

    Decided a temporary fix would do for a few days.

    muffler off the old ZZR1100 sounds like shit but with the noise the other boys make I will put up with it

    Bracket on front header is meant to be there. On my dyna there is an OEM bracket that bolts to the case under the cam chest for front header pipe.
    Rear support bracket is meant to be spaced, OEM tranny cover should have these spacers, already fitted. What year is your bike again??
    I did say it was loud. LMAO. You should hear one with 640 cams and 11.75:1 comp.
    But my Pan is louder.
    I think maybe your bagging it unnecessarily<img src=" border="0" />
