Title: Clearance for V&H 2into1
Post by: Fiddles on Mar 22, 2020, 10:54:22 am
If anyone is interested Dennis Kirk has V&H 2into1 big radius exhaust system on clearance for $375, just ordered a backup set since they will be very hard to find in the future

They fine on stock height raider , and they only drag some on a lowered raider... I think with fork extensions they might not even hit , Ron 505 would know for sure though

I think the 2-2 may be a little higher at the lower bend then the 2-1 ... you thinking about changing your pipes to the 2-1 bro ?

:thumbs: I have given it some thought for a while especially because to 2 in 1 shows a bit better performance. I did think it looks like the front bend comes down a bit lower than my 2 in 2 just by looking with the naked eye. I cannot really afford to go any lower with my 2 in 2 hitting like they do and I am running stock height. Wanted to bring the rear down but have trouble justifying with scraping now.
I have always leaned toward the two pipe look myself. I like the look of my 2 in 2 and also the Freedom Sharp curves. Just afraid to make a move a regret it man. ;D

Yeah buddy I hear that, my bike has progressive lower springs in forks and air ride in the rear and it definitely touches down , with that said you can adjust your lines and still run a pretty good pace lowered with the 2-1.
I think having the increased ground clearance would help pick up a few mph of entry/exit speeds but for what it does now I’m happy with the looks and backroad performance of the ole girl !

Funny you say that - went for a short ride Saturday - sitting at a red light to make a left turn - light changed, head into the intersection and right as I turned the handlebars to the left I hit second, gave it some throttle and the left front came up about 6 inches - I need to get this new stabilizer installed soon.

We ordered four of em here in Meade Co. yesterday...And yes, you will grind a flat spot on that low bend of the pipe cover. After that the frame's scraping the road and that's about as far as she's gonna lean anyway.

On my bike with V&H 2-1, the front header pipe drags only if dragging the pegs in corners. Stock suspension with a 240 on the back. The heat shield on mine is worn flat almost paper thin. But again, very aggressive cornering. (https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a4fe/d91vycn2pr6u4fl6g.jpg)

I’m surprised your front peg mounts have not touched down, mine have pretty bad along with frame in the rear.... don’t mind pipe hitting but the hard parts makes your line change and that’s no good !

I definitely should have ordered one! Mine has a flat spot like xmanrigger's plus the rear is really ground down, but that's from being lowered and riding two up. Also, I have the 3" fork extensions in the front, which gives me better clearance up there, but I've still scrapped my frame and pipe on the front as well. And my pegs are due to be replaced.

Damn, this was a great deal. They still want $1,124 for the 2-into-1 from fortnine.ca here in Canada! Crazy.... I emailed them to see if they could do anything about matching prices and they (of course...) could not.

If anyone is interested Dennis Kirk has V&H 2into1 big radius exhaust system on clearance for $375, just ordered a backup set since they will be very hard to find in the future
These are quality products. V&H and Cobra (speedster) are the only 2 models I know that are CARB, EPA and 50 state compliant. Their fit and finish are great..
