Dual Exhaust questions 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I've decide I'm gonna have a custom dual exhaust made up using automotive exhaust and black exhaust wrap and then 2 stock upper mufflers. But I've got a couple questions....

How do the Freedom duals mount to the bike on the right and left sides?

Can somebody with the duals email me some pictures of the mounts? Or post them on this thread?

If you wanna email me send me a pm and I'll reply with my email address.

Thanks.

On a related topic, I just spoke with Ray at AAA exhaust yesterday. The pic below shows duals on a Stratoliner but he says Freedom is in production of the same for a Road Star. They are about a month away from releasing to the public.

Very nice. Been thinking about duals for a long time. These probably are going to push me over the edge.

From what I've seen, the Freedom mounts are similar to the Bassani mounts. Not the best pic but the mounts are in the lower right corner.

click on the thumbnail:




A few more pics with partial views of mounts.

Keep in mind that the stick exhaust tubing used by most shops is very low quality and is only intended to last a couple yrs at most. You may want to find a shop that will make it with Stainless or buy your own SS tubing and just have them bend it. Or try something like this.

These are made from stainless. A little spendy though

@ Tug, wow they are proud of those! I don't particularly like the step up at the rear either.

rphazen thanks for the pics!

davej, the stainless is a good idea! I was thinking aluminized but, the stainless would be better. I'll look at that depending on the cost. Wanna keep the cost down as much as possible.
