Hooker has some fantastic prices ($100) on ebay for some of their pipes, they list this type specifically for the FXR but would interfere with the sportster bags going on, (i don't much care for the look myself)...


But they have some straight slash cuts listed for early Dyna's that i'd like to pick up, these pipes should work wouldn't they?? thanks!

Man those first one's would put a burn on a passenger's leg as well......although it looks like you wouldn't run these with a passenger anyway....as I don't see any rear pegs on the bike.

63ssragtop.....great post thanks for keeping us all informed.....

As for me I am still looking for a "screamin" deal on a set of Supertrapp 2-1 layin new as "NOS" New Old Stock in someone's shop or garage.....lol oh where oh where could they beeeeeeeee

I've been lurking for a set of those as well, i like the slash cuts for a hundred bones and would like to pull my stockers and put them in plastic in the attic..  I tried some vance  & hines shorts for about 1 hour and took them off, didn't like the sound and my neighbors really didnt like em at 5 in the a.m..

I've been looking at, and considering Cobra slash cut for my FXR4 ......... they are more than $100 .... by about a4 or 5 times .... but I do like the looks of them

The FXR (84-94) system uses the same head pipe (part # 050-7348) as the DYNA 91-05 (head pipe # 050-7348) in the stainless steel systems.  We do have the SuperMeg system in chrome that fits the 91-05 DYNAS.


2:1 HD FXST/FLST 90-06,DYNA '91-05,CHR.
 828-71454
 $676.00
 


PLEASE SEE THE ABOVE IN GREEN. Part # 828-71454 ($645.00) IS THE CHROME SYSTEM THAT FITS THE 91-05 DYNAS. IT COMES WITH THE SUPERMEG MEGAPHONE AND THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE DYNA.  I CAN SELL YOU A MOUNTING BRACKET FROM THE STAINLESS STEEL FXR SYSTEM BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK. YOU PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO HAVE ONE MADE.

 

YES, THE FXR MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE SYSTEM THAT ALSO WORKS ON THE DYNA IS PART # 029-7356, THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED A LOW EXIT SYSTEM.  THE HIGH EXIT SYSTEM BRACKET FOR THE FXR IS 029-7354; I WOULD GUESS THAT YOU WILL NEED THE LOW EXIT BRACKET TO GO WITH THE SUPERMEG SYSTEM 828-71454. PART # 029-7356 IS $89.00.

Mikey-
If I use the Supertrapp 2:1 exhaust, does that exclude me from using saddlebags? Also, how do they compare against Thunderheaders 2:1, or other 2:1 systems?  Thus, my ultimate question is what is the best performance 2:1 ehaust system that allows you to use saddlebags for the FXR3?

[63SSRagtop]

You'll find that pipes aren't as big of an issue as getting bags for the FXR's.. they made a convertible bag but they are very very hard to find in good shape and when you do they'll go for big bucks..  (i'm retrofitting some sportster hard bags to my bike).. on pipes though, basic rule is more torque out of the 2 into 1's over straight pipes..

Of course I am not a "card carrying" member of the Chicken Family Like Mikey.....

buttttttttttttt my opinion of the "best" exhaust for our FXR's whether they are 2's, 3's, or 4's or whether they are the 84-94 models of FXR's would be a good 2-1 exhaust.  Now as for which make or model.......very debatable of course, currently I have been running the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe 2-1 Exhaust, and while it's a very nice performing pipe, my ears get "tired" of listening to the "rumble" even with ear plugs......but I do wear a "full face" helmet which only probably exacerbates the issue because of the "reverberation" caused by the helmet shell.  I have 3 years experience of running a SuperTrap Supermeg 2-1 exhaust on my 2002 Road King Classic which performs just as well as the Vance & Hines Pro Pipe 2-1 and has the ability to be "tuned" to a more quieter sound via running the pipe with the discs in connection with "closed end" cap.  Thus my "opinion" would be a "vote" for the 2-1 SuperTrapp Super Meg pipe for an FXR!.

It should not "EXCLUDE" you from using bags although you should realize that the SuperTrapp SuperMeg 2-1 pipe does come in two different "styles" one of which is "lower" the other of which is "higher" so you will need to acquire the "lower" version to have enough clearance for the "bags".

I have to agree with 63SSRagtop reflections above, here is a link to a couple of photos that will give you a view of what the difficult hard to find leather bags that came on the FXR Convertible look like:

These bags are indeed difficult to locate, you may not even like the "style" of them to begin with, but they are the "orginal" OEM bags that were put on the OLDER STYLED Convertible FXR's so there is some "element" of "nostalgia" which in part played a "roll" in my decision to locate a set of them to put on my FXR2 as you will note in the above THREAD discussing the installation of them. As 63SSRagtop offered there are of course other options for different "styled" bags which simply require a bit of "ingenuity" as far as installation purposes go....

Not crazy about the looks but alot of info on 2 into 1's

Well i guess its fitting, the FXR sidetracked me from getting the Nova done, now the Nova is now sidetracking me from getting the bag bracket configured (minitub and new rearend setup).. sheesh!  I need more time in the day!
