I honestly don't know. I like the tall rear suspension and short exhaust. I doubt you need to get the +2 front forks.

Thanks, I'm just trying to figure out my next steps. Don't want to buys a suspension that doesn't allow me the option to go with a longer pipe. I live in FL so not much canyon carving but a lot of boring a$$ highway riding.

Totally get it. You'd be good with 13" rears and a long pipe. My buddy has 13's and a long pipe and he carves the **** outta these Cali mountains without issues. I may be wrong and someone chime in if I am, but the issue you'd probably have is with a passenger hitting a big bump or pot hole. But even then youd probably be good. IMO its probably the guys that go super low that would probably have issues but then again I may be wrong. Just makes sense to me with how bikes ride and handle. Im certainly no professional.

I know I'm gunna get **** for this. Some people won't like it but do. Doesn't matter what others say right? Typical Corbin style, hard at first but my *** fits nicely. It'll soften up. Hopefully going for a ride on Wednesday to break it in.

I'm afraid to answer this because I'm not 100% positive so please try to do some more research.
With that being said I THINK it depends if you have an m8 or twin cam.
I THINK m8 needs short pipe anything longer than 13.5" and twin cam needs it after 14"...swing arm will hit the trans....but again, I could very well have those measurements and years mixed up.
I went to 13's on my 08 and my 18, both with long pipes and no issues. That much I do know. I dont think I'd go +2 with anything under 14", maybe 14.5"....I'm too short for that lol. But I do love my 13"s

I was wondering because most of the pics of bikes with a higher suspension setup seem to all run the shorter pipe.
CRTMAN21 thanks for the input I will most likely run the 13's in the rear. Who knows for up front
GLOCK35 What Legend setup lengths are you running? I like your stance.
