Bagger Exhaust...

[Mastiff Rider64]

Ok, I've been looking for a while and even found something some of y'all will like. But first, if you had the choice to put an exhaust on a Bulldag bagger what would you choose to install? I want a different exhaust other than the supertrapp slip ons. Any ideas are welcome.

Now for all you FSD sinful hotrod lovers that can't reach Frankie. I ran across this company and it seems they are the original makers of the exhaust. I've been speaking with a woman in sales there and seems they may have an exhaust for our bikes. Check this site out.

Those pipes look identical to the FSDs. I love mine. I noticed this company is based in Australia and FSD still has their same message both on the phone and their website in essence that they will be back?

Thats because they are the FSDs, seems Frankie was just a distributor for them here in the U.S.. And the FSD part went out of buisness, hints why Frankie aint selling them no more.

I love the look of the FSD myself, but Bliw is the only thing close i have found. I'm still lookibg for your air intake also. Lol. Seems VCW or the company with it on the website doesnt sell it. But you have a beautiful bike.

I actually have been looking at them just worried about how to mount them. I hadnt seen a picture of a bigdog with them on it before. Looks good. How does it sound?

These were on my Bagger when I bought it. They are advertised on Ebay for around 300.00, I put the Big City Thunder baffles in, but they are still loud.

Do they have heat shields, did you lose any of your hp or torque with shorter pipes?

Thanks regarding my bike!

It does not make sense to me that Frankie (FSD) would be the distributor if Blow is in Australia, and the following from FSD website states "All of our exhausts are handmade 100% in the USA"? Did he sell the rights to Blow? Further it mentions... "Every exhaust is made within the USA. We do not subcontract to companies overseas." Lastly, "Unlike any other company in the world, the owner Frankie Serrano executes the designing, welding, sculpting and polishing. That is right; it is all done by Frankie in his private shop, apart from the FSD Exhausts production line." Soooo not naïve enough to believe everything I read on the internet, but the aforementioned was what I understood as well after several conversations with Frankie?

Re the intake, that picture has been on VCW website for a long time.

They do have heat shields on both upper sections. I can't verify any loss because they came with the bike. I think with the Big City Thunder baffles I installed did help with the torque and noise.

Idk, all i know is she told me FSD Australia was thier parent company and that they went out of buisness. I mention to her in my emails about Frankie here in the US making and selling the pipes and she replied stating that was a long story and for FSD Australia the parent company. And that there were 2 dividson of that company. The chopper side and the ones that Blow now makes. Maybe Frankie was the chopper side?

Maybe Frankie bought FSD Australia? But just funny about the time FSD Australia goes under Frankie stops responding to emails, phone calls and shipping out orders already paid for. Going by what i read on this form. I personally have no problem with Frankie, he helped me out when i bought a set of pipes off ebay and they wouldnt fit my bike. When i spoke to him and sent him pictures of the issues, he explained to me the pipe that i bought off ebay came from his place in California and the pipe i got was made for a Harley and hadnt been released to the public yet, (So how did it get on ebay?) He asked me to send it back to him and he would ship me the right pipe for my bike at no extra cost. So i did and a week later i had a FSD pipe that fit my Mastiff. But the pipe i sent back had the FSD square in the rear exhaust pipe, but the fitment issue was it wouldnt clear the rear belt pulley. Which is this womans concern is now. Thats why she keeps asking for pictures and measurments.
I honestly aint trying to ruin his name or the great pipes he sent us. Weither he made them or not. I honest am trying to give riders an opition to find another great looking pipe for our dogs.
