Thanks for the heads up:2thumbs: . I'm still in the market for some new pipes. Don't know exactly what I'm gonna do. I may have to go custom. Need to be different.

Salty,
Are those Vance & Hines? Or some other make? I called V&H and they said they had nothing for a 2003 BDM Chopper.
I'm also looking at the Samson Big Gun Shorty's too, but they may rob some power and torque. If I can get the optional baffles from the Shorty's to match the baffling and back pressure on the Kerker 2-into-1 (which I have now) I'd opt for the Shorty's.
Thanks for the info.
The problem is that Big House and I think Seat already had this idea...I am hoping you all get custom pipes sao I will have the only BR pipes and can save some dough. my thoughts.
Thanks Front Runner...

They are Vance & Hines. Got them when they were first out and just ordered them for a softail (pre-99). You will need a custom bracked. I was able to bolt mine on the inside of the frame mounts with some adjustment to the supplied bracket.

It's funny. I have the 2003 BDM Chopper and I also have a 2002 Harley Heritage Classic Softail. The mounting bungs on the frame on each bike are 2" apart. Rough measurement from the frame mount to the bolts on the Cylinder head are very close, if not the same. I'm thinking that any exhaust for a Harley Softail 2002 may work on the Chopper. Maybe the studs are different measurements, I haven't checked that yet.
Not sure what I'm going to do. I like the Samson Shortys and I like the V&H big radius, if it still allows the passenger peg to be there. I guess I better do more thinking on what I want. The Kerker 2-into-1 that I have now is a great performer. But I like the looks of the Shorty's.
Time will tell. I hate to mess with success and I've go a good performer now.

My stock pipe fit on the 97 Bad Boy that Harley made with all my brackets. All we did was remove the heat shelds, powder coat pipes black, remove baffal and cut down the cone about 12 inches. Pipes are wrapped to keep the heat down. This setup looks great on the bike since it is all black.

Not too good. I went to Blowes and picked up some supplied to mirror yours. I got some 1' shrink tube and put it around the 1 inch wide steel flange I made so it would not mark the frame. When I went to attach the C clamp to the frame I saw there is not enough room inbetween the oil tank and the motor mount to do it. I have the piece from the exhaust to the frame. Now I just need to reconfigure how I'm going to mount it.
Thanks for your help!!!

Yea man... I like the V&H BR but this pipe iz GANGSTA!!!!!
DAMN!!!!
That's the shit right there! :2thumbs:
I also like the chain drive....
How much was that upgrade (belt to chain)?
Is it louder or does it feel any different?
Should be stronger than a belt correct....

Thanks man, I love the black pipes. They never get dirty and they break up the bike a little bit. I can't tell you how many times I've bottomed out those pipes too, and since they're black all you gotta do is hammer them back into shape and hit em with some high-temp paint. viola, good as new.
