Wow, they are expensive. Got my Samson true duals yesterday from DrVtwin. After looking at all the parts freaked me out a little bit. So for grins I called my local HD dealer they want 3 1/2 hours to install my exhaust 311 dollars. F that mess.

So will be calling on the help of the resourceful folks here this weekend. It will be fun tearing apart my 2 week old bike. Just hope I can get it back together. haha

Good luck! After getting robbed by dealers I finally decided this year I am going to start doing all the modifications myself. I will also be counting on all you guys for help! If anyone ever needs a hand around the Miami area let me know! eager to learn and start doing everything on my own!

Its not bad...Im no mechanic and do all of the wrenching on my bike. Just be sure to pick up a service manual. It will do wonders when working on your bike.

The duals were my first mod as well.

Yeah that ^^^

I thought changing my pipes was going to be a hassle, and although they're not duals like you're looking at, overall it was incredibly simple to do. Of course, I picked a day last summer when it was 114*F outside to do it.. my wrenches got so hot that i burned the palm of my hand... I think I spent more time moving the bike around to follow the shade than actually doing work..

I see this a lot, horrible pictures in the instructions (no experience with Samson, but lots of others). Speaking for KeeBee here if I may, it might be helpful to send him some better pics. Just sayin'!

Thank you might be giving you a call. The pictures in Figure A and B are very fuzzy. But the step by step seems to be pretty good.
