Default Rocker C exhaust replacement

Hi Guys. I have recently changed my exhaust from the the twin curved to the Vance and hynes 2 into 1, but have found that the exit is too close to my swing arm and is tarnishing the chrome. I would like to change to another set, prefer the 2 into 1 large radius with the slight outward twist but have been continually told that no one makes exhaust for Rockers anymore.
Could you give me and direction on where I could find s set that would enhance the look of my bike without reducing the performance from someone in the USA as most shops over here seem to stick with 1 or 2 dealers and take there word as gospel. Just like everyone said I could not shorten and french my rear guard, As you can see I finally did successfully.
I would appreciate any and all direction on this matter. Cheers Lee

Your question didn't belong in the Mascot Section. So it was moved in one of the other forums.

Check out Bassani, Freedom performance and D&D. Exhaust than fit the breakout and 09 cvo springer can fit a rocker. Some of us even made pipes that aren't suppose to fit rockers, fit.

I had the Bassani road rage and it was a great 2:1 pipe on the Rocker.

I had to have the Exile shotgun pipes on my Rocker. To make them fit I had to cut & bend the crankcase vent line as well as modifying the mounting bracket. I also cut the lower pipe 3" shorter to get the staggered look. I get a lot of compliment on the pipes.

I have an 01 Fatboy with 240 Phatail kit and had same problem with every exhaust I have tried, except the Bassani ProStreets. They were short enough that they did reach the swingarm. Why don't you just install spacers between the frame and exhaust mount bracket? If you like your current pipe, try installing a few different size washers until the pipe clears the swingarm. It may be a little more difficult to get a good seal on the headers, but if you can get a seal, you are saving $600 - $700 on new pipes.
