I've heard there is adapters that would make a set of 11' pipes work but I think I'd rather wait a little instead.
I got my black BSS in early November for my 2012 Lo (they are the 2012 version with no adapters needed). I would call V&H and ask them. They were cool everytime I called to check on stuff I was waiting for.

I just took off my BSS's and might be looking to sell them, they're for the '10 and '11 models though, which will fit the '12s but you'd need the O2 sensor adapter kit

Got my Air Shammy bike dryer in today. I'm actually looking forward to washing the bike tomorrow. Also got the 1000 mile service done at the dealer today. They had a special going so I didn't get raked over the coals too bad. My J & S lift will be here next week so I'll be able to start doing them myself. I should have got my Cool SAC deluxe in today but it got sent to the wrong address and is being rerouted. I had the dealer hold up the street slammers and it didn't look like they would be much closer so I had the dealer order the 6 inch curved risers and I'm going to try those instead. They should be here in about a week or so. The Lo is slowly but surely coming together.

Made my morning trip down to Ricor Racing Shocks today in order to have the Ricor Intimidators installed. The ride appears to be so much better.

Well, Lets see now.. I installed it the day after Christmas. Rode the bike for an hour then put it away because I got called and had to leave town for a few months. Seems that some one forgot to tell a couple of contractors I work for I was taking a couple of weeks off. Oh well. When I get home next and if the weather is good I will take some pics. I also put on the Harley Goodies floorboard extensions,Harley Black Diamond fuel cap set, My new tach/speedo, and Leatherworks Solo bag.

I'm debating about doing the floorboard extensions.. i never pay attention to it when i'm riding about how my feet sit on the boards.. there's times when i'd like to move everything forward a bit, then times when I don't..idk, depends on the weather i guess.. when it's warm, i like to widen my stance on the boards, and in this pitiful cold-ish weather, i like to hug that motor pretty hard haha

I don't think I really need floorboard extensions but I'm thinking about putting in a right side heel guard. I think if I had the heel guard I would be able to use the entire right side floorboard since I wouldn't be worried about melting my boot on the pipes. Does anyone have any experience with heel guards. I've been looking at the HD forum sponsor Rock Hard Rails heel guards. If I remember right they don't require drilling. The only problem is they are all chrome. Maybe they'll ship me one raw and I can paint it myself

I ran into that today and decided the easiest solution was to use my dremel and shave a bit off the turn signal mount so that the magnetic covers fit properly. I painted the newly created flat spot up with some "touch up" paint and called it good. Covers fit perfectly now and unless you know what you're looking at you don't even notice the change.

I installed the docking hardware the same way. I just ground a little off. I wonder if a detachable sissy bar will still mount ok being that close to the turn signal. Have you tried to mount anything yet?

I got my kit (that Chuck installed - since your bike is there anyway) from this website: http://www.harleyloweringkits.com/soloki.html

It is really cheap!!! And of the same exact quality of the expensive ones. Took chuck 30 minutes to do and it lowered my rear 1.5 inches. Looks AWESOME!!! He advised me not to lower the front since the bike is already EXTREMELY low. Also, make sure you get the Kuryakyn kit that moves the floorboards out and forward 1 inch. If you don't your boards will scrape even if you THINK about turning! It's that bad! I scraped when I turned every time on the way home.

Good luck. Be safe.
