| | Posted : 17 Nov 2010 - 02:21 Post title : got my parallelled stock punchers back from the custom shop today: still need finish work | | | Now to do the tuck in with either bending or cutting...got a look at my stock punchers at the custom shop today!
they wont be for everyone but they work for me!@
I did not like the fly wings spread out in the back. YMMV
so I had a custom chop weld done and next is grind and recoat.
not bad say so myself...
can go either powder coat black or leave chromed.
these are actually more parallel than appears in the close up harley view due to fish eye effect.
have not ridden them yet to check clearance but they will allow 2 inches lower bag placement, and easier to scoot between cars!
waddya think? black chrome, or just paint over and place a stainless strap around?
opther pair is in the shop, may try a forward bend point, and parallel longer below the passenger foot rest.
all fun.
sound great. like the prebend, but with a bit of a twist.

stick up. That angle can either hurt or help fill the drag producing low pressure area behind the bike.
Surely this is better than flaring out. Looks good. Straight pipes. Free Flow filter, TOR tune = Stage 1.
Congratulations~!

Have you thought about removing it and using a straight pipe connection? The bike will flow better and sound sweeter IMHO.

tried the bc hogslayers wtihout catalytic, and did not care for the machine gun ratatatatat. too loud. it was offensive to cars when passing them.
This makes the balance Iwas looking for.
still want to try another set to be angled a little more forward, and have some cheap stockers to play with due to the supply of takeoffs..
will sell one set or the other, the ones I do not retain, for first 250 dollar offer.

I find them to be pipes without the slightest flaw. Total perfection IMO, and cheap to boot. they even dropped the price $20 bucks recently.
