I always dig SS AC looks really classic on any bike. I might do it one day on mine if I can find parts cheap one day

I bought my 2018 Softail Deluxe back for the 4th time. Can't find anything better after many strays plus they're going extinct after 2020. We've finally bonded.

Hey ad, just occurred to me that those shorties don't use the heavy factory bracket that is used for the stock mufflers.

My LR uses that bracket to also mount the right side passenger peg - which I want to keep. Appears you removed the passenger peg(s).

Any insights?

The Heritage has a threaded hole in the frame to mount the right hand passenger peg. I’m not sure but I bet there’s an identical hole in the Low Rider frame that’s probably lurking behind the pipe bracket.

I dyed my new K&N air filter element black the pink was not going to cut it.
I upgraded the filter to open face for more air flow.
Next mod is going to be powder coating the rest of my exhaust black

very easy! Make sure you have 5/16 stubby hex for you to tighten the upper bolt near the pipe
