Picked all of this up for $50.00. I think I have everything I need now to make the dual system work. Will start on it next week.

Here's a pic of the mufflers. One more step closer.

I had someone on the VTXOA comment about this same post I posted over there and he said something to the effect of I would burn up my cylinder because the bends in the pipe would create to much back pressure. I was a mechanic by trade for 26 years & I have never heard of something like that. Besides, if that is true, how does H/D keep from doing that on all of their touring models with the dual exhaust??

Maybe thats why they are always broke???  :pot:

Caution! Danger Will Roberson!! Your coolant reservoir is close to you pipe. Possible melt down! Can you change your oil filter?

I noticed that while looking at the pic. Gonna look at it a little closer this afternoon when I go back out to my friends shop. I do have some heat wrap and extra heat shields I could use.

 :good:  :bikerider::good:  :bikerider::good: :bikerider: :good: :bikerider:

Final set of pics cause I AM FINISHED!!!!

1.     I put a heat shield on the crossover pipe just in case. There is 2 1/2" or 3" inches in between it and the coolant jug so I should be good there.
2.     Left side pipe & my welding friend. It was his shop we used.
3.     Heat shields fabricated.
4.     Right side pipe.

It sounds a heck of lot more mellow and is a lot quieter than the V&H baffles.

 :c :bikerider:

Thanks guys!! I really do like the sound. It doesn't give me a headache when I ride anymore because the old pipes exited right under my saddlebag. Now it is out past it.
