What Pipes Work with DNA trike kits 2005 Fatboy

[team98]

Hello All,
I need some help with pipes. I'm putting together a 2005 Fatboy with a DNA swing-arm and axle. I'm having trouble finding pipes that will fit without hitting the swing-arm. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Sincerely,

I have built a couple of FLST's using the DNA rear and swingarm. As these both have bodies, I used a set of true dual pipes from Samson. From where they end, you'll have to get your muffler shop to make up two "S" bends out of 1-3/4" pipe, then what ever muffler suits your fancy and length. For hangars, you can use a piece of "U" channel, bolting it to the frame and mufflers.
If the trike has an open rear, you can use V&H shorties, as well as others.

When doing the S bends about how much drop did you have them make?

I had them go as tight as they could, which turned out to be 1-3/4" drop in about a foot of pipe. I used aluminized pipe from the muff shop, but you can find stainless 1-3/4" pipe as well. Also Santiago sells chrome S bends, which are the same thing for 100 bucks a pair, or go with the muff shop bends for 15. I have some pics which I'll post later.
