True Duals on 1999 FLSTC
I'm thinking about putting True Duals Fishtail pipes on my bike (1999 FLSTC).
I have a concern with the back cylinder "wrap around" pipe. Will that make the rear cylinder run hotter than it already does. If so, hotter than it should?
Is this a concern I should have?
I like style, but not at the cost of performance (usually).
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob

The performance loss will be so small you won't even notice it. There's way too much hype about major losses down low with true duals. Usually you hear it from the folks that make decisions based on high rpm dyno numbers. Like someone else said, if it's tuned right the rear cylinder won't run any hotter. But, your right thigh may run cooler.....

I have true duals on my 1990 bike, although I have an S&S 107 in it. I checked with S&S that they are OK with that set-up. Pipes are Samson, with S&S oval mufflers. I don't notice any difference in heat and on the dyno my motor is giving slightly better numbers than S&S say it will give, so no loss in performance either!
