    Have a look on the Tasmania Ride Topic. Ralphski has a 2 into 1 on his soft tail springer. Not a fatbob I know, but you get the idea. He might chime in with the good and or bad news

    I had a set with the short mega on my 2010 Wide Glide..Make good power but a bit noisy for my old ears and they don't make a quiet baffle (or they never used to)for the short megaphone..I had the one that wrapped around the front of the cam chest and the bottom pipe did scrape a little. I also had a few issues with the finish on them but not much I could do as they were sent over from the states..

    Thanks bud,yeah I heard about scrapping them sometimes....on the bottom pipe at the front I think....but my long shots scrape sometimes to if I’m cranking it...
    As far as noise I think they come with a baffle now...I dunno but ??

    I have one on my low rider S.

    Performance is unreal as you would expect from a 2-1. Sound at idle is tough, but not stupid loud like an unmuffled 2-2. Same for putting around. Loud enough for cars to hear you coming but not what I would call "anti socially offensive"

    When up it though, F^*k me sideways it sounds good. The stainless without heat shields yields a tad higher pitch than your normal exhaust. I absolutely love it.

    Never had issues scraping as I'm on 13.5 inch ohlins, if they scraped it's because the bike is sideways into a guard rail.

    It looks great in raw too.

    Brash - I never thought that colour 2-1 would work but it looks sweet on the LRS!

    Looking real good brash. 
    Currently running V&H Big Radius 2 into 2, got some gain out of them, they look tough & suit the bike -  but when I fire the bike up 8am Sunday morning, I'm sure the neighbours are cursing me! 
    I have been making enquiries about these pipes for a while & just ordered for my '96 WG. Will be after a dyno-tune after fitting - don't want to miss out on any HP gains to be had.

    I think you will be happy with them, should definitely notice a low end torque increase with a 2-1 and appropriately tuned.

    I never really liked 2-1 noise until this pipe came along. It's got some mongrel about it.

    I've got the Road Rage on my 19 Street Bob. I don't feel like it's as loud as everyone makes out but I'm very happy with the performance. My bike isn't lowered though and it scrapes quite easily, haven't even pushed it hard through the twisties with it on yet.

    Looks good on your bike. What part is scraping?

    Thanks mate, scraping on the bend straight under the points cover.

    I put 2" over fork tubes on my Wideglide and fixed the scraping problem...maybe a standard set of Wideglide tubes would improve the scraping on the Bob as they are longer..

    That's the Bassani road rage 2 fitted on my LRS never had any issues with it scrapping and that's at stock height. My pegs and crash bar make contact before the pipe does. Love this pipe! Can't say a bad thing about it! Love the sound & performance i get from this bad boy! Only regret i have is not going stainless like whats on Brash's bike, That looks shit hot!!

    Never had any probs before with scraping on the Wideglide so hoping these pipes I've ordered will be ok.
    If I have to go a further 2" over on the fork tubes that's ok - think that would would look cool anyway.
