That makes both of us! Here's what I have. The night before I hit the road and and morning I hit the road, the truck headlights on the bike. I haven't seen it in the sun myself yet. The bike is sitting here unfinished, no windshield, dash on the bench, tires little more than sitting in place.

Finally got the Legend Revo-A's installed. I loosened the right side muffler, swung it out far enough to clear the axle hardware, raised the bike on the jack and installed the shocks. Then lowered the bike and reinstalled the exhaust. It actually fit pretty nicely rotated out enough to clear the axle nut and adjustment plate.
A little hard to see on the first pic though... it's all so shiny. This is at the full 13" extension.
A bit asymmetric. Just didn't feel like adjusting the other muffler to match. Some day.
Bike definitely sits slightly taller. Maybe half an inch or so. Works for me.
Now dinner, then it's time for a checkout ride!
Edit: these are really nice. I had expected a somewhat caddy-style ride, but they're really nice with 1" of sag and rebound on #3. Firm enough to feel the road, but not harsh. I had totally expected to have to add a little preload and rebound... Nice.
Well done. If it had a logo on it, one might think it to be original..
Adding ANY oil cooler will help some; theoretically the larger the better.
And of course, nothing will help to its potential unless the extra oil capacity is considered.
I installed a Baker +1.5 pan when the bike was relatively new.

Honestly, I can't see the difference, so I wouldn't sweat it. Am sure the Legends are more than worth the slight annoyance it might cause.
Changed out my primary cover (and derby cover) for black in the morning. Went to the shop and bought LED conversions and a mid height windshield. It’s getting there!
