Default 2018 fatboy with pipes and bars

Just getting fitted up with new Australian made Burleigh Western Bars and Vance and Hines big shot staggered with quiet baffle... evidently these pipes are not supposed to fit but with a modification of bracket fits nice and snug...Away visiting family till Jan 2nd, then its 8 days of riding before work...

Pipes look good! Have fun riding. I did about 70 miles yesterday but the weather will be getting too cold soon...

Was there enough slack in the handlebar wiring to put those bars on without doing any extension of the existing internal wiring?

Hey Dude,

I am in the exact same process of making some V&H longshots fit my BO. Do you know if they cut the header pipe? I reckon the rear one needs to go backwards a bit. Any help appreciated before I get out the grinder and welder.

they told me that the only modification that needed to be done was a bracket, nothing else, fitted snug
