[bigchazz]

Would like to get V&H BR, would like to know where is best place to look and any part #s would really help. I dont wnat to get the wrong ones.......
Also, would I need some type of mounting bracket? the ones on there now are short and do not bolt to the frame. Would I have any issues with the controls? 2005 Pitbull. 300 tire
Any help, thanks....and YES, I would sell these..there new, not even a mark.

I think it looks bad azz as it is now! Why change pipes?

What size Rear tire your running ?

 

[bigchazz]

Sorry............300 rear. Need help with finding the right ones. Also any mounting and control issues...thanks

Like the look of V&H better.........just personal preference

I like the look of your pipes do they have heat shields ? I just took off my VH/BR 2:1 for 300mm rear ....

The V&H Big Radius will give you better back pressure and a few more lbs. of *torque* as opposed to the short dump of the pipes you are now running-but those are really cool as well (what you have now) like you said-just preference is all it boils down to.
Look at the pipes I make in my profile Bike pics....-they aren't as "showy" and sexy as the ones you've got on yer sled now-but they make Horsepower/Torque in bunches and are unique.Gimme your input/opinion.
I'll see if i'm technically able to navigate this menu and post a few pics.

There shouldnt be any fitment issues with the controls ...I'm running the stock BDM foot controls.... although it's very close, there is about 3/8" clearance from the front pipe and to where the right foot control mounts to the frame .... I think the mounting bracket for the frame is different for a rigid frame .... were you looking at the VH 2:2 or 2:1

No control or fit issues, you can by any set that you can find for RHD '05 and up. You will need to manufacture a braket to fit the '05 as V&H no longer carries them. I am tempted to trade you even up I think yours are pretty cool! If you search my threads you find posts about the braket. here is a link about the bracket you would need.

At the risk of sound even more uneducated, what is the line going into the exhaust where they meet? Is that one of the breather lines?

I routed the breathers from the Rocker Boxes & check valve into a braided stainless steel line and into/ under the diamondplate heat shield.
Dude..You are NOT Un-Educated....thats a fine observation on your behalf and asking questions is how you learn and gain better understanding of many topics that involve your bike.
The added *heat* and suction/draw from under the heatshield let the rocker boxes breathe even better-and lets the check valve *relax* as the heat creates a natural draw.
Believe me...theres enough air flowing underneath that shield to vent the entire motor.
*DONT* Hesitate to ask,write or call my shop if you need ANY technical or mechanical advice.
I joined this fine forum to help and talk to those who know what a fine motorcycle is all about.Feel free to message me, call or contact me anytime
Best of luck in all your endeavors.

I Like Those pipes Bro.....send Me a Message or call my shop.I am interested.
and just a second thought....They *SHOULD* have a bracket tab welded on the rear inside/underneath(connecting both pipes together) that is able to Mount & stabilize them to the Transmission Trap Door Bolt locations...
No...? Just asking-and gimme a shout whenever you can dude.

So I understand this right. It is vented into the exhaust. I need to do this badly. A good friend of mine offered to detail the bike for me over the winter if I could cure my spray. I like that idea. Don't mind if I give it a shot do you?
