I have an 09 street glide and it has the 103 kit and a set of monster oval slip ons and stock header pipes, has any one run the vance and hines power duals u know the pipes with the x chamber on them and if so how are they I was thinking of switching to a whole rinehart exhaust but have heard the monster ovals are a great set of mufflers and want to change my header pipes just not sure what to go with and looking to get the most out of the motor as well as great sound. thanks for the info D
Now, if you just putt-putt around and don't lean your bike much at all, then go for the looks if you like them.
hope this helps

Umm, another Power Dual query. We have three bikes with slightly different set-ups. My two have the Power Duals, one w/Monster Ovals, and one w/Hi-Outputs. The Monster Ovals w/Power Duals runs great. HOWEVER, these damn Power Duals scrape REAL BAD in tight right-hand turns. Mine are chewed up pretty bad. Neither of my bikes are lowered like the Street Glide and the Road Glide Custom are. Those models would grind a LOT earlier than mine do now. Honestly, if I were to do it again, I'd go with just the headers that Jamie (Fuel Moto) sells so I can use my OE heat shields. Those headers have the same slant as the OE header which allows full lean when you need it. And, they flow way better than stock. Sadly they weren't available when I got mine.
Now, if you just putt-putt around and don't lean your bike much at all, then go for the looks if you like them.

How far are you leaning in those right hand turns?? Looks like your floorboard arm is pretty scraped up too in that picture

Butcher...It looks to me that you would be scraping almost any set of headers. Not so much where the X-Pipe is, but that scrape on your front pipe would happen on any set.
Before I came over to HD 10 yrs ago, I used to ride Metric Street Racers. Did plenty of peg scraping, but have yet to scrape the pipes on my RKC. To be fair, I've only had it for 2.5 months and it's too friggin cold to ride right now.

My buddy has the power duals on his 09 Ultra. I helped him put them on. he said he got a nice extra kick in the pants from them. he has the V&H standard slip on's not the Monsters. the monsters are great, but be aware they are not too loud at all. I guess it really depends on what you are looking for.

V/H Power Duels
Have a 2010 Ultra limited got the bike in april this year now has 12,000 miles on it, looked at the power duels and decided to go with the V/H true duels along with SE AC ,255 cams, SE Fatshotz slip ons which are not loud and 50 state legal, also did SE tuner and dyno tune. Ended up with 85 HP and 100 TQ. Not the most I've ever seen but dam sure no problem getting out in traffic and legal.
