    how hard is it to put a set of softail exhaust pipes on to a dyna super glide, is it just the mounts or is there more to it

    On any Dyna the complete pipe system "moves" with the engine as the engine is rubber mounted

    All Softails the exhaust system is hard bolted to the frame and the engine which does not move

    They can probably be "made to fit" but most likely it's a " too hard basket" scenario

    There is likely to be drama with footpeg/footboard position and gear lever / brake access.

    I doubt very much ya pipe is mounted to the frame or swingarm on a rubber mounted engine,,,,,,,,,,,maybe you have a new true Track/exhaust mount system LMFAO

    Seen it on a sporty and it didn't take long for the new freedom pipe to snap where the header come out of the front cylinder

    Some pipes will fit. Just look out for your oil fill point for clearance.

    A mate and myself fitted these in an afternoon while having a few beers.

    They tuck into the engine real nice give plenty of clearance round the dipstick.

    I had to make a new rear bracket so I made it a little more heavy duty.

    The effort is well worth it some real nice pipes out there for softails.

    so dose that mean the pipes are the same it is only the mounting brackets are differant
