Upswept Exhaust Pipes with Cocktail Shaker mufflers and Rear Turn Signal Delete

(1/4) > >>

gqsiepker:
I’ve got a 2009 FXSTSSE3 in yellow with flames that I want to do upswept exhaust pipes with cocktail shaker mufflers (old school chopper type pipes) and it looks like I’ll have to do a rear turn signals off delete/relocation. I’ve found a rear tail light that contains brake light/running light and turn signals. Has anyone removed their rear turn signals? If so, what did you film the holes with?

Also trying to find actual pipes that will work on the bike. Paughco has what I want and I’m waiting for a reply as to whether they’ll work or not.  Has anyone done this to their CVO springer??

The recurring "problem" you will find is the 240 rear tyre on the 2009.

2007 and 2008 can just fit "ordinary" Softail exhaust systems that bolt right on. All 200 rear tyre.

240 rear the exhaust has to "kick out" a tad, that's why most online exhaust listings say "except 2009 FXSTSSE3".

What will fit a Rocker or Rocker C will fit your bike, and they were MUCH more numerous when new.

One of my good mates here used to fit upswept fishtails to each new Softail he bought (all 200 rear of course).

I can't remember the brand sorry, but I did all his ECM reflashing to suit, and being true duals on a Softail it took a bit of tweaking.

May have been Samson or Freedom Performance.

Apologies that's perhaps no good help with your turn signal relocation question !

gmeikle:
PPS you need the "bigger" 18mm O2 sensors also. Easy to miss that, only up to 2010.

That may cut down options a wee bit.

gqsiepker:
Thanks, that’s what I’m seeing. Nothing for a wide tire softail. The Paughco’s do come with both 18mm and 21mm sensor adapters according to their website. Now just waiting to see if their pipes will work or not.

gmeikle:
Every Rocker sold in Australia would have had some kind of aftermarket noisy exhaust fitted.

With stock Rocker headers all Softail Custom/Standard/ Nightrain slip on mufflers fit. S&S, Khromewerks etc etc

I have also seen Rockers with V&H short shots (terrible pipes for decel popping !)

Very few FXSTSSE3 models sold new here, they were just too dear at the time. Price of 2 Dyna lowriders !

V&H Big radius curved I have seen those , also as poppity as all buggery.

Good luck and keep hunting, then post up your findings.

All the best from Perth Western Australia mate
