Default True duals on a Fatboy?

Anyone running duals on a Fatboy? and if so what kind? I'm finding their isn't many options. I'm looking at putting hard bags on so was planning on changing the pipes out.

Member Josewales is. He'll probably chime in here, but here's a pic of his bike while you're waiting. Looks pretty badass.

Mounted a set of Vance and Hines Duals on my 02 Fatboy. Very good fit and quality.

These are the only photos I can find.

I believe they are the Samson cholos minus the fishtail tips. Not sure on the length, but they look at least to be 36", if not 39".

You didn't say the year of your Fat Boy was. Its a very common exhaust on the normal tire ('06 and down) Fat Boys. Not many riders run them on the fat tire Fat Boys.

I always thought it would look AWESOME if I had some V&H True Duals, but sawed them off short, like my BSS, right even with the swing arm. Maybe someday I'll have that project.

Started looking last year........same reason. Not much room behind the rear cylinder head to get the pipe bolted in and exiting. I recall there is a metal brace the runs up in that area also. See them on Deluxes..........not sure if there is the same clearance behind the rear head.
