here is a pic, apologies if it doesnt work. new to this

2:1 looks great!  Did you have to modify the passenger footpeg?

[cbdeluxe]

You do have to relocate the r/side peg and it comes with a bracket to do so, but you have to purchase another one seperately to make them even with
each other. I generally ride solo so I think i'll run without rear pegs.

Thanks for the info, enjoy your ride!!

I went on Vance and Hines Facebook page and linked them to Z06pilot's thread and they said they fit but the tolerances are to tight by the oil lines and the forward controls....they do not recommend it.

Yea, I talked to them and they told me the same thing.  When i had them installed, the guys checked everything as they were putting them on.  Nowhere close to the oil lines and the rear header has the exact same clearance to the rear cylinder, as it bends around the back of it, as the stock header did.  I know because the guys at the shop measured all of these distances from the old exhaust and compared them to the new going on to ensure there would be no issue at all.  They told me they would never install anything on a bike that might result in unsafe or questionable riding/equipment conditions.  John there told me their butts are on the line when they install anything on a bike.

I have no idea what they mean by being close to the forward controls.  I wipe my bikes down a LOT, so I am very accustomed to how things fit because I move a micro fiber cloth between parts all the time cleaning the bikes, and I just don't see what they mean with any of their explanation.

I am considering the source here.  Sure they manufacture it and they should know everything about it, but these are also the guys who told me it would be March because the o2 mounts on the Breakout are at a 45 degree angle, different from every other 2013 Softail.  I checked at my dealer how the o2 mounts are on the Slim and the Fatboy low.....exactly like the Breakout....

So for me, I'm enjoying the hell out of my 2-2's.....

With my luck, I'd be the guy that the oil lines get to hot and the engine blows or something.

I am sure the new ones that will "fit" our bikes will probably cost more than the standard pipes that already fit.

[Dobeman2000]

Second that- noticed today on Vance and Hines website that when you click on fitment for the 2 into 1 big radius pipe it says "not recommended for CVO Breakout"- and for the 2 into 2 pipes they say to substitute part number 26065.  I can't find that part number anywhere.  Still guessing they will pretty much come out with the same pipes but with a higher price tag.  That being said, I still won't be getting one until they have the official stamp of approval (which might happen before I can ride here again anyway).

That is what I'm going to do.  After Facebook chats, I finally talked to a guy that said tolerances are too tight by the oil liness and forward controls.  I'm going to wait because its winter and I can't do anything anyways...

[Layin the Pipe]

Would adding an oil cooler resolve this issue?

Well . . . . my dealer ordered the 2:1 made for the Rocker as I suspect the frame is the same size as the Breakout due to the 240 mm tire.  He also ordered an adapter for the o2 sensor . . . let's hope it goes well

Hey cbdeluxe, I've got those same pipes coming! I think it looks great and we could all use more torque Did you dealer order the one intended for the Rocker?

[cbdeluxe]

No, Order the ones for 2012-13 softail part#28019. The ones for the rocker have the wrong o2 sensor bungs.

He ordered the one for the Rocker but also o2 sensor adaptors so it should fit.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
