They look great on your 72, I had a set on my Deluxe and they sounded awesome. Nice choice!

Here is a video of how they sound(it's a crappy cellphone video)

They are universal like I said. I think they have them on lowbrowcustoms. I took the crossover pipe off since it wasn't connected to the pipes anymore, the rear pipe is supported by the bracket that bolts to the sprocket cover but the front pipe is just hanging. It didn't seem like a lot of weight or like it was putting any major stress on anything.

I figured the front pipe hanging like that wasn't any worse than a set of sikpipes or anything like that so I'm not too worried about it.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, the sikpipes might hang, but at least their joined together so there's no rotational force applied on them... just the weight of the pipes hanging.

The rear will probably be fine with that one support, but I wouldn't count on the head studs only on that front pipe. Think of the rotational force on the gasket and studs, that's pretty long to just hang there. Every bump and shake will try and swing them downwards, I think you should figure out a way to support it ASAP.

I foresee broken head-studs in your future if not... but they could last forever like that, just my $0.02. Regardless they look cool as hell!

Your pipes look and sound great, did you remove the baffles?
