    Have a new night train and was looking at the sideshots. Anyone have any good/bad results with these pipes? Please help.

    I am interested in Sideshots for my 03 Fatboy. But a technical person in response to my question of cornering said that they may drag during heavy cornering. I am concerned because of the way they extend down and out. So I have been holding off until I either see them on a bkie or hear from someone who has them on his bike.

    Scraping :)

    I like a little peg/pipe scraping now and then. It keeps me tuned-into the pavement and out of the weeds.

    I run Sideshots on my 04 Fatboy, and I was concerned about the dragging as well, so I grabbed a buddy of mine and we leaned the bike over as far as we could, and the floorboards hit LONG before the pipes do. BTW the sound spectacular!!!!
