No poiny in lifting your foot off the peg if the muffler grounds.

I've always liked the XLCH high mount pipe...

if that muffler hits the ground, you've got bigger problems  |

Blind guys like me don't see much future at all, let alone one colored something fancy.
I know, the days just fly by now. Before you know ten years got behind you.

I tried sets of 2-1 pipes on both my Ironheads and didn't like them. Bikes sounded more like a Triumph than a Sportster and I missed that distinctive exhaust sound. Sold the pipes and went back to 2-2's.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the generous discussion. Install of those pipes has been more problematic than I’d expected but working through it and the carb change. Will report back once I solve the leak …
