Hey all! I'm a complete noob to Harley's, but not to turning a wrench. I'm picking up a 2014 48 in mid march and I'd like to have an aftermarket exhaust waiting in the garage once I get the bike home. I'm leaning more towards the Twisted Choppers hookah header. My question is, are the optional baffles essential for these pipes for adequate back pressure? Also, has anyone had these pipes on their bike? I've tried to do research but it doesn't seem that these are very popular... I guess that's part of the reason I like 'em. Another question I have is geared more towards drag bars. I've seen some threads about drag bars and that it's preferable that they're dimpled, but does anyone have suggestions as far as brands, bar length, etc.? I've also seen that there has been clearance issues with certain bars? I just want to have my ducks in a line so I can mold this bike into what I think is badass. I appreciate any input you might have!

Same question here. Looking into led sled pipes. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showt...0#post12324590 some good info in this thread people responded with but still wondering about the baffles/cones/back pressure myself

 

I was looking to get these pipes as well, definitely going with the baffles. I'd like to hear some audio though.

 

yeah i'm pretty sure you NEED to have dimples on a 2014 forty eight. that's what i have. it gives the wiring the room it needs to come out from under the switches.

 

I tried a set of drag bars on my 48 and they were too short. Bought the HD drag bars from the dealership and they fit perfectly. They are dimpled. It's needed so the wires arent pinched by the control clusters. I was able to mount them without changing the break line. I just loosened the banjo and looped the hose over the top of the bar. Also, the turn signals will interfere. You can modify them by grinding off the tab that fits into a notch on the triple clamp and move them to the next clamp down.

 

Here is a pic of them installed
