    my foot used to get knocked off but now I kind of lift my heel. the worst thing is when leaned over to the right is collecting catseyes with the heel of my boot!! talk about shock loading on my heel faarrrk! I was talking to a guy who is a far better rider than I am and he suggested to straighten the bike up a bit and use more body / arm inputs

    Not many boys have been talking about the Bassani Road Rage 2into1's.....
    They'll probably be my next pipe.

    G'day Binnsy, here's my 2 cents worth.  Which ever pipe you go for, make sure you can still access the gearbox fill plug.  You don't want to have to remove the exhaust just to do a service ;)

    I had a big radius on an FXST (2010) and now I have a Pro Pipe High Output on my '14 Ultra Limited. I like both pipes.  The Pro Pipe High Output has bigger header pipes than the standard Pro Pipe and seems to work fine with the stage 1 air cleaner.

     

    Cheers,

    Pete

    It'd be cautious using any pipes with larger diameter header pipes as it can make the exhaust less efficient unless you've got an engine that will flow significantly more. For 103 engines stage 1 thru to stage 4 the standard header size is plenty.

    I was told that, but at the price I paid for them I couldn't pass it up.  Tuning hasn't been a problem, thanks to the Fuel Pak 3 map :)  Definite improvement on heat management :)

    Made up my mind and fitted the V&H big radius 2 into 1.  Fitted them myself, a bit tricky but all good in the end.  The look amazing IMO and they sound incredible.  Made the bike a little snappier throttle wise too.  No popping or backfiring on roll off either, so things must be good engine wise I imagine.

    Reckon it will take some doing speedzter but will let you know how I go. Don't think I ride well enough to get down that low. Thanks for the comment too. I reckon they suit it too.

    Tat2_u, what baffle mods have you done to your Pro Pipe. I have a 09 Fatty, 103, 625 cams, heads ( Mark Hood Motor services ) and larger valves and springs done, 52mm T/Body. it produces 116hp, and 110Tq.
