Vance & Hines Sidewinder exhaust, does it scrape?
« on: January 09, 2011, 08:21:06 PM »
As some of you know I am trying to make a choice on what exhaust I am going to run. I am really liking the VH Sidewinder pipes with the Cycle X reverse cone. I searched the forum and found a ton of hits about this pipe but didn't find an answer. It looks from the pictures I have seen that the collector may scrape the ground on a right hand turn if you leaned her over. Can anyone that has experience with this pipe tell me if there are any ground clearance issues with this pipe?

It was designed for straight line running so i would say "yes" it will scrape,the tail pipe will probably scrape before the headers..... I have a nice sidewinder pipe that came on the drag bike i bought but it won't be going on a street bike, i like corners...... ;)

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

I had one on my Suzuki GS1000 based drag bike, and you could use it for a sidestand! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
