LSR 2-1 Softail

No Stupid 1950's megaphones, No Aluminum Butt Plugs

Born Every Minute As They Say: LSR 00-1306R Versus $2400.00 Stainless 2-1

You can spend upwards of $2600.00 for a, new to the market, stainless megaphone 2-1 exhaust with only two abbreviated heat shields and no long term history in terms of pipe mounts or over the road long term durability.

For about the same money you can get a competition and dyno proven  LSR 2-1 00-1306R Pro Stock in dual coat black ceramic with full coverage heat shields, a TTS MasterTune, a TTS Camshaft and a RSR Dual Display AFR Gauge for, as you ride monitoring, to perfect your tune. Full 2" primaries, billet gaskets, and CNC machined turbo venturies.

We tried megaphones 30 years ago. They are a waste of time. It's old tech for Norton Manxs and pukka 1950's English bikes. There are no megaphones on any race cars...formula,  GP, rallye, NASCAR...Nowhere. 45 years of this shit. We've seen it all.

Born every minute as they say.

On the other hand maybe we should raise prices to $2,400.00 since every minute there is a new one born.

I have done the 95 kit and the updated oil pump/cam plate/Hyd tensioners to it but with only 8,000 miles on it and it’s excelent condition I will probably keep it original. Ray"

2022 FXLRST... 00-1419

Customer writes: "Good morning, I'm really surprised at how well this thing runs with nothing other than your exhaust.The
modifications that I did to fit the pipe and the pipe itself worked without fail. I'm having
second thoughts about installing the cam and S&S 128 kit that was set aside for this bike.

No one makes a decent windshield for this model yet so I duct taped the short shield from
our Pan America up and down on the stock one until I found a good location and drilled 2
holes and added velcro along the top to fasten it on the OEM one.

We took off from Our place in Wyoming and rode through,SD,ND,MN,WI and the UP of MI
before heading back down towards Green Bay and back to Wyoming going close to 2500 miles.

40-60 MPG depending on speed with power and torque everywhere with Susan, myself the
 trunk and saddlebags full..We rode much slower through upper Wisconsin and along the
Mississippi River in Minnesota.Back in the plains I opened it up quite a bit.

The initial break in was done by ND and We stopped in Bismarck
for an early 1k service because NO other dealers along the way could fit Us in.

Once again and for the 7th bike, your exhaust systems are second to none.

We appreciate Your help,customer service and friendship. Scott & Susan."

 

"I was lucky enough to get one of the pre-production Clearview Windshields to test .....luckily before all of the recent rain and snow.It works way better than My custom creation and should be comfortable for all future miles.We had a Clearview WS on Our FXRT fairing on another bike that also worked well. We hope everything is good a RB Racing. Scott"

Year One...Lethal

Customer writes: "2002 FXSTB Night Train ( China ) 95ci, cams, heads, Mikuni 42, 1.75" B slash cut RB LSR exhaust, built. Thank you for being so professional and helping me choose the perfect exhaust, also delivery took only 5 weeks. This is the fourth exhaust I've put on this bike and I used all the big names finally settling on my original off road S.E. II's as none of the other's could compare to the usable street torque down low. To be completely honest I expected your exhaust to have better mids but figured I would lose some down low torque, I couldn't have been more wrong. This exhaust is down right dirty and lethal, by far the best performing and sounding exhaust I have ever come across and will continue to only use RB LSR exhausts on future builds.

I wanted to send you an updated picture of my 2002 95” Stage 4 Night Train with the 2 into 1 “B” slash cut. Going on my third season with this pipe and every time I fire her up, it feels like the first, hearing that pissed off V twin come through that boom stick. In all honesty, this pipe has held up beautifully, sounds better with stages, performance is way better than my TH and sounds like a trophy truck coming out of the hole. Against my better judgment, I did remove the heat shields and wrapped them. Though frowned upon, I’ll have my shields for the next one I order.

You can be assured you’ll most likely be the only one with a RB pipe at any open house or bike night and those who are familiar within the industry are always impressed to see or hear one in person.

 Love the pipe, love the attitude and as long as you’re around, I’ll be a returning customer. Adam".

Bye Bye Lo Cat

Customer writes: "Hi. I installed an RB Racing LSR 2-1 exhaust yesterday on my 2016 FXSE CVO Prostreet Breakout. It replaced my D&D Breakout Lo Cat. The difference is astounding. It feels like I installed a new cam in the bike. The sound is like a big block muscle car. With no loss of torque, it freely revs to redline with zero restriction. It was a bear to install by myself in my garage on the floor, but it was worth it!

Thanks for taking my call today. Your time and discussions were valuable and appreciated. Lynn's service, follow through, and communication were top notch!

Please feel free to add any of my pictures to your website. I've been a big fan of it for well over 10 years. It just took me too long to get around to ordering a pipe from you. Better late than never!

Thanks, Justin."

00-1167 in Silver Ceramic with chrome shields.

In the late 70's, all through the 1980's and into the mid 1990's we used to spend about 5 months out of every year tuning things. No time for that anymore. It's best that you tune your own bike...add up the hours and write yourself a hot check. Or just pay somebody. We use a Supeflow CycleDyn Dyno and we ride in the real world using our RSR Air Fuel Ratio Gauges.

When you order the TTS MasterTune, a LSR 2-1, and our RSR Air Fuel Ratio gauge,  and a TTS Camshaft (see below) there is a $100.00 discount. Real world.

TTS M8 Camshaft left above. Mercedes / Illmore pushrod V8 Indy winning 265E camshaft to the right. Pay attention to the lobe design.

Ilmore found that with a pushrod design there was so much monkey motion going on between the camshaft lobe and the actual valve opening that it made more power and torque to gently (preload if you will) open and close the valve. Slamming the valve open introduced disastrous harmonics and accelerated valvetrain wear.

Steve Cole designed his TTS 100/150/175/200 camshafts plotting the acceleration rates contrary to what others did i.e. banging the valve open and shut. Years later Steve finds others are copying his designs even if they do not know why he designed them that way. Camshaft descriptions.

If you actually ride instead of parking and talking about your dyno session you will find the TTS cams will outperform all others in the vital roll-ons in the 1000 to 4000 RPM range.

TTS M8 cams are priced at $275.00. $358.00 for Twin Cams. In stock at RB Racing to pair up with our LSR exhausts and our RSR Air Fuel Ratio meters.

2002 FLSTSI

Customer writes: "Hello RB Racing
 
Sorry this is so late but here are a few pictures of my 2002 FLSTSI Heritage springer wearing your 00-1191, 1 ¾” C Style 5” longer/slash down exhaust. I bought the bike last summer and the original owner had installed the 95 CID kit with high compression pistons, 204 SE cams, and SE race tune when it was new. The only thing I changed was to add the upgraded oil pump W/Hyd cam chain tensioners and your exhaust. The bike had 4” V&H slip-ons on the original dual exhaust header which made it loud but not all that powerful. Soon as I installed your exhaust, I could feel a world of difference.

This is the 5th bike I have installed your pipes on and I wouldn’t consider any other brand. My recommendation to anyone wanting to upgrade their bike is to install the RB Exhaust first. That’s the easiest way to get significant performance out of a bike and any subsequent engine mods will just add to the package.

As always, the fit and finish is excellent and the sound and performance are astounding. Thank you for making a great American Made product. Ray".

Customer writes: "Hi there.

New pipes arrived, looking good, installed smoothly, sound great, and perform flawless. Good torque all through from just off idle to 5500. power band 3000-4500, sounds like a smooth radial engine flying by low.  (with two cylinders lol!) Originally,  the first set purchased 10 years ago(?) on the '95 (96ci). When I was rebuilding it last couple years, installed the originals on the blue '99 (88CI), and they did very well.

So, come time to get the rebuild up and on the road, decided it would need a second set of the same pipes. The photos enclosed are both the older set, now on the blue 88CI, and the newer, on the emerald green  96CI.

Both have various go fast goodies, and both sound, ride, and feel truly a pleasure!  The pipes certainly contribute greatly to the functional performance level.

Thanks again, Toros."

No Bone Spurs

Customer writes: "Folks at RB Racing,

Hi, my name is Rik. A couple years ago I called up RB Racing looking for a better exhaust system for my beautiful but anemic 2003, 88 inch, Heritage Soft-tail Springer, Harley Davidson (100th anniversary edition). I thought it was time I got off my butt to thank you for the great product you provided.

I raced sprint cars for twenty years so I know there's more to improving an exhaust system's performance than just hanging a set of straight pipes on your motor and calling it good. The RB Racing 2 into 1 system you sold me proved that in spades. Not only was it beautifully made both in fit and finish and sounds great, it brought that little 88 inch V-twin from mediocre to pretty darn lively in the couple hours it took to bolt the system on. I know this because a guy I ride with quite a bit used to be pretty closely matched quickness-wise on his 102 inch Yamaha. Now, it's no contest, I walk off and leave him... Every time. This without changing anything but this exhaust system.

One last comment: While on the phone ordering this system I think I was talking to the owner, He asked if I was a veteran. I explained that I had spent 8 years in the National Guard but I didn't really consider myself a veteran because I hadn't ever been sent off to a war zone, let alone been shot at or having ever fired a shot in anger. He said that didn't matter. He thanked me for my service and insisted that I accept his veteran's discount on his product. You just don't meet a lot of people like that anymore. Thank you, Sir!

Sincerely,
Rik "

00-1306  LSR 2-1 M8 2" Pro Stock Challenge.

00-1306S Prototype

The 00-1306Sis a prototype stainless version of our LSR 2-1 Pro Stock Challenge.  Same 2" primaries and 15 degree merge collector as other versions.

We made this for a Bonneville project as all our turbo exhaust manifolds for Bonneville are stainless due to the salt environment...But we decided not to do any stainless production as we have 1 3/4, 2", 2 1/2", 3" and 4" tubing sizes all in heavy 16 gauge as well as machined parts (venturis), brackets and 12mm and 18mm O2 ports which all would have to be done in stainless. Then you cannot  finish stainless, save polishing it, and then it turns gold, then brown, then blackish.

Costs more than double for no benefit. People run our exhausts for 15 to 20 years...good track record.

Firms than use stainless typically use 20 gauge...way too thin and then they crack. We'll stick with heavy 16 gauge steel which can be chromed or ceramic coated.

I wanted to improve the low end performance and all my other choices just didn’t make sense. Searching and reading about exhausts/options for a year, I just couldn’t decide what to do.

 I finally pulled the trigger, placing my order with RB and couldn’t help but go for a quick ride - NOW. The RB 2:1 replaced the screaming eagle exhaust, and there’s immediate improvement: responds like never before – that’s what I wanted, sounds mean – that’s what I wanted, and looks fantastic – that’s what I demanded. 200% satisfied, don't wait for next xmas.

Just don’t forget to order the flange (00-1002) and delay gratification when your original exhaust flange is too thick.

Softail Springer

Customer writes: "As requested here are a few photos of a 2003 Harley Springer FXSTSI with your (00-1167) LSR 2-1, C Style 1 ¾ inch, with three shields.
 
The bike is a stock 2003 Twin Cam 88 with the exception of the SE 203 cams and LSR 2-1 exhaust I just had installed. I just want to say holy crap your exhaust really makes this bike run and sound good. This is absolutely what a Harley should sound like. I have several of your exhaust systems (Black Hole, Spyder, and LSR 2-1) and I have to say the LSR sounds perfect especially on a relatively stock engine with factory heads and valves. The LSR exhaust also gave me a noticeable increase in low-end torque and they allow the engine to accelerate faster through the RPM ranges. Even the folks at the local Harley dealer who installed the cams and pipes were stepping all over their cranks about the sound and performance of your LSR pipes on this bike.
 
I am looking forward to the weather warming up so I can get back to my retirement plan of putting 100 miles a day on the local country roads here in Eastern Washington. As always installation of the pipes was easy because of the excellent workmanship, slip joint, billet gaskets etc. The chrome finish is flawless and bike looks far better than with the SE slip-ons it came with. I truly appreciate the LSR exhaust system and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a good quality and perfect sounding exhaust for their bike.
 
Thank you for building a truly excellent American Made product. Ray".

Not only does it sound like to is ready to fly, but the butt feel take off and throttle response is better than expected. I love how it looks and now all I have to do is lower the back about an inch and have the pipe set level ( planned to do this anyway!). You are welcome to use any picture of my bike you want.
 
My bike has been upgraded to 103 cu in, se255 cams and street ported heads, this pipe really woke up the power, even before I had the TTS retuned for it. I won’t bore you with dyno numbers, as you said we don’t ride dynos.  Thinking about trying to a slightly bigger throttle body now that the flow on the exhaust is so much better than the other brand radius pipes I gladly removed.
 
The gaskets are well thought out and really help the flow from the head, nicely done!  ( your website really educated me on how things work and the proper way to set the bike for how I ride). Thanks again, Bob S."

I'd installed a SE120R some weeks earlier and had run up about 2000km while waiting for the pipes. Had the thing dyno'd after the new pipes were installed and they ran at +12hp over the stock pipes. Just wicked and way, way, better than stock 103" with stock pipes. Mean sound too. My wife loves the noise. She wants some on her next bike. I'm really pleased with how they look, sound and perform.

Softails never get old. They are the elemental Harley. Not as heavy as a sled and sure as hell not a Dyna. Very clean bike. The "B"motors are sort of boring stock but no one can stand a stock bike anyway.

Ordeal

Customer writes: " I know I called you several times during my ordeal waiting for the LSR 2-1exhaust system that I ordered.All I can say is nice job and well worth the exercise in patience. I either hand built or carefully selected each component on this bike and when it came to the last piece, the exhaust system, I realized I had not planned this very well. I could not find any other system that had good performance characteristics and satisfied a look that I envisioned for this bike. I happened to Google search pictures of 2-1 exhaust pics one day and saw these pipes. As I followed the trail from the picture it led me to your website and the rest was history. The pipes arrived well packaged and all parts very organized. The installation was a perfect fit.Attached is the first picture I have taken of it completed that I promised to send. Best regards, Dave."

00-1062: LSR 2-1 Style C LSR 2-1 2" Turn Out rotated 45 degrees. Lots of work in this bike. Softails are sort of making a comeback these days as they are the last of the elemental Harleys. They saved Harley in the 1980's with the EVOs. FL's may be the big ticket item these days with their tourpacks, bags and windshields, but "clean, narrow, lean and mean" is still Softail territory. EVOs still rule in our books.

2003 Deuce

 

Customer writes: "Hey guys....been a few years that I have had these bad boys on the bike....ya know, I like them cuz
I don't c my ass self every time I pull in a lot with a couple hundred bikes...same reason I like my 03 DEUCE (that has 74,000 miles on it) they're attached to....they look great and perform just as well....not "in ur face noisy"...very nice mellow sound....
thought you might like the BIRD photo...u know..kinda like BUB,V&H, COBRA, THUNDERHEADER and the rest of them cats to BACK OFF.....Only issue I had with them is your logo popped a rivet....Called that nice LADY in your office and I had a replacement in my mail box 2 days later...Anyway, thought you might like to post one of the pix on your web page...would like to see that..Very happy and proud of your workmanship......Thanks again kind regards Colin"

Softails saved Harley's ass a long time ago and they are still your basic bike. These days we've been riding our Turbo Dresser around and had the chance to ride an older 96" S&S engined Fat Boy that we had worked on over the years. It sure was fun..lighter than the bagger and damn fast. Elemental. Two wheels, a motor and a stash bag on the forks.

My Friends Haven't Seen One

Customer writes: " My friends and riders around here haven't seen a LSR 2-1...They are all asking questions about it"...

Since we've been making exhausts for almost 35 years we often get similar comments. Bikes come and go. People enter the market and new bikes and people are born everyday. In case you want to know what we have been up to read this. Now this Softail gets to cover more miles and generate it's own history. Everyone is on his or her own journey.

B Stories

Customer writes: "Hello RB Racing!!! Here are the pics you requested – I have to say, the build quality fit & finish are superb, by far the best exhaust setup I have ever experienced on any of my bikes. The finish is so good I may take off the heat shields as I feel they detract from the visual appeal of the pipes. The ability to see, inspect, maintain, and clean all of the components with the B style is going to be great. The look is one of a kind and sexy as hell, and the performance is astounding! With an Arlen Ness “Big Sucker” intake and the TTS MasterTune system I was very surprised at the improvement in power that my “butt dyno” felt. I can’t wait to strap it down and see what he real numbers are. I can tell you this much, it is no longer just your average stock 96” with a tune, this son of a bitch pulls like a 103”!!!

"Thank you again for your patience in working with me through my repeated calls and emails – I wanted to install the LSR 2-1 rather than continue to screw around chasing leaks and fit issues with the Cobra setup I had. I wish I would have done my homework and purchased yours first! Feel free to use any of the pics or my comments on the website, I will happily recommend RB Racing to any who ask about the pipes! Anyhow – here the pics of my 09 FXSTC Softail Custom."

Potato, Potato, Potato

The sound our 2-1's make is so "right" that customers want them for their sound alone. They have a much more powerful sound because the engine is working easier and the power is much smoother. LSR 2-1s wound out to the max get everyone's attention because they sing the song that only a power junkie would love. Everyday we talk to customers who have tried every pipe on the market and can't believe how much faster the LSR 2-1 is throughout the RPM range. You can expect horsepower gains from 6 to 18 hp over any other design.

On the sound issue, we keep getting asked what a particular pipe sounds like, to which our answer is "It still sounds like a Harley." For those of you who can't remember what your bike sounds like we suggest you buy a small tape recorder ... record your bike and listen to it...you will hear the siren call of the open road and a faint "Potato, Potato, Potato". If this sound doesn't please you or tickle your fancy record a Honda, a Ferrari or your old lady snoring and hook it up to your headphones while you're riding...that is what your RB Racing LSR 2-1 will sound like. One final time, LSR pipes sound like a Harley!...We will tell you they aren't as noisy as a tinny, cheap-ass megaphone! Harley tried to patent the sound "Potato, Potato, Potato" but finally gave up after 5 years of legal hassle.

LSR Baffles are welded into the tail section, have tapered entries and exits to smooth the flow, and never require any maintenance! We aren't stupid enough to weld in some flat plates that belong in sardine cans not on a high performance big twin! LSR 2-1 baffles are designed to achieve the same performance as would an "open" pipe, but provide a small amount of back-pressure to to increase low speed torque by preventing cylinder "blow-down" on camshaft overlap. Actual drag strip testing shows no differences in E.T. or mph with the baffles either in or out.

"C" Stories

Customer writes: "I don't really know how to start, but I love these pipes. They have the best sound of any pipe I have heard and I've about heard them all. The performance is outstanding and the craftsmanship is second to none. I think that the sound of them kind of freaks people out because people live in a box and only like all of the other pipes that all sound the same, ( you know what I mean). Thanks again and RB LSR 2-1 pipes are the only pipes that are going on my bikes. I have an 07 heritage springer with lsr 2-1 part# 00-1167 Black with a Turn Out 45 deg rotation".

"B" Stories

Here's a couple of photos of my bikes: the flame 1993 Softail has a 120" Ultima motor, RB LSR 2" pipes, and dynos at the rear 126 hp and 130 ft. lbs. of torque. The little guy is a 1991 FXR Low Rider with an 89" stroker motor, 1 3/4" RB LSR, and dynos at 94 hp and 101 ft. lbs. of torque. I've had these pipes for over six years. Both pipes rock ! They make the best power, and have a deep menacing growl ! Don't forget my new Cloisonne RB LSR tag for the little guy......Thanks......Carlos." We sent him a new style tag.

Customer writes "Just wanted to drop you a note and some pictures.

Got my healthy 95" build done and am in the process of getting it tuned right now. The LSR's were a breeze to install and everyone at the shop loved the billet gaskets and special nuts for the mounting to the exhaust ports. The pipe sounds and looks just awesome! I've been tracked down and followed while on the road, so they could see what it is they heard.

On an untuned motor, my first dyno pull yielded 102+ ft-lbs of torque with the AFR still out of whack. We expect to get more out of the motor as we get it tuned better. Maybe 105 to 108 ft-lbs and around 100 hp. I got and installed the RSR AFR gauge and it has been very helpful in working towards a better tune on the motor. Only wish I would have thought ahead of time to get the other port in the rear cylinder too! That would have made it even easier to tune! Well, on the next bike I'll know better.

Anyway, I think your product makes my scooter look and sound great!

Thanks for all of your help! you folks are great to work with!"

There is no comparison between the LSR and upgraded stock pipes that I was using before. The bike rides like its on steroids!

Digital Gear Indicator and Dual Air Fuel Ratio Gauges

Our RSR Bonneville Digital Gear Indicator and our Dual Air Fuel Ratio monitor provide useful, easy to read, information. Knowing what gear you are in and what your engine is actually doing in front and rear cylinders is important information to get the best performance out of your bike. No wasted shifts and no wasted fuel.

Road Toad...The Movie

Harleys vibrate. Next time we'll make a better camera mount. Video shows the gear indicator in action on a 5 speed 2004 Road Toad as well as our RSR Dual Air Fuel Ratio Gauge. We made a few edits to the TC88 ECM for our LSR 2-1 Pro Stock Spyder exhaust. Gives you an idea of how we tune things by actually riding them and how useful the Bonneville Gear Indicator is.

Get a tub of popcorn and a six pack and watch a 2004 FLTRI find happiness going through the gears. Make your own movie and get some more popcorn and beer and show your friends how you hit redline in sixth gear. At Bonneville we run five gears but we have a 425 hp Harley...and a lot of beer.

Do Not Use OEM Gaskets

LSR 2-1 Exhaust Systems must use our CNC Machined Billet Gaskets (part number 00-1000) and our close tolerance aircraft exhaust nuts (part number 00-1001). The above OEM woven gasket will not work with our machined Turbo Venturis. Four special aircraft exhaust nuts come with the system but you must order four extra ones for $3.00 as they are easily dropped and the OEM 5/16" x 24 hex nuts will not "turn" on our machined Turbo Venturis.

We also offer machined from billet exhaust flanges. If you have a 2004 or later bike it will probably have the thicker exhaust flanges which are not compatible with our Turbo Venturis. Early style OEM Evo chrome die cast flanges and clips or our billet parts are called for. Our Chrome Billet Steel Flanges and clips are $29.95 per set and are stronger than any oem part.

We have had several instances where people encounter "difficulties". Invariably, it is traced to someone not using our billet gaskets. The billet gaskets insure proper fit of the LSR 2-1 system and are designed to work with our Turbo Venturis to increase exhaust flow.

Customers

Customer writes: "First, I have had your LSR 2-1 C w/Turnout on my 98 FLSTS for about 4 years and 32,000 miles. It looks great, sounds great, and of course, performs great.

Second, the mechanic that works on my bike also drag races a Shovelhead powered FL. He only ran Thunderheader until he rode my bike and did some research. Steve had you guys make him a 2-1 and set new records in his class.

Third, my brother-n-law has a '05 EFI Road King. He was just dying to put some Rinehart true duals on it. I talked him into waiting until he looked at and listened to a lot of RKs before buying. During the year he did this I kept asking what he wanted out of the new exhaust. Finally, he admitted sound and performance. He kept saying I love the sound of your bike and it is fast as hell. So, I suggested the LSR 2-1 C Slash Cut longer pipe. We installed your exhaust, a PCIII usb, and a K&N filter with stock a/c cover and changed the backing plate. His road king has torque and runs like a scalded dog. We both can out run 95" kits installed at the HD dealers.

I provided the background to say this. My B'law took his RK to the HD dealer for the 15k maintenance service. The mechanics went nuts over the exhaust and what it does for the performance. They asked all kinds of questions. They had never heard of your firm or the exhausts. Now comes the kicker and it makes me a little sad (because I have enjoyed having an exhaust that out performs the crap the HD dealers sell). The mechanics conclusion. They are going to take off that HD exhaust crap (their words) and get RB Racing exhausts. Now the word will spread around Memphis and RB Racing exhausts will be everywhere.

It was good while it lasted - having the performance edge over others.

Your exhaust system has been great on my bike for 4 years and 32k miles. Thanks for a great product. I can't imagine having any other brand of exhaust!

PS. Sure wish you would make a LSR 2-1 for Victory Jackpot or 8 ball. The only reason I haven't purchased one in the last two years is because you said you would NOT make a Victory exhaust.

Later…Cliff"

Whatever You Have to Do

Joe Boyd was having trouble getting ahead of the competition with his 113" Super Gas drag bike so, in desperation, he took his 00-1063, Slash Cut, 2" LSR 2-1 off his street bike and won the Arizona Bike Week AHRDA Nationals. We sent Joe one of our 00-1306 Challenge pipes later on and he went on to win the Western Division S&S Super Sport Championship. Whatever it takes to get the job done.

Right Side Drive

Fat is in except in Super-Size meals. Wide tires are getting wider and right side drives and kits for these abound. Whether it's a fat tire stock frame animal or 360 wide tire aftermarket frame, we can build a pipe for it.  Australian built bike pictured below. It features one of our 2" designs.

Billet Flanges for 2005 and later Models

The Harley part numbers for these flanges and clips are: 65328-83 (exhaust ring clamp) and 65325-83A (retaining ring). RB Racing has these cnc machined flanges in stock, per pair with spring clips Part Number 00-1002, $29.95. 2005 and later models need to order these flanges or their equivalent at your Harley shop as the oem flanges may be too thick for our Turbo Venturis.

S&S Four Bolt SA B1 and  SA B2 Heads

We have been asked by customers to provide LSR 2-1 systems for S&S SA B1 and B2 four bolt heads as well as for the 126" and 145" S&S Tribute engines.  Pictured above are our laser cut flanges and cnc machined venturis that we heliarc to the 2" primary tube for the S&S Racing heads. We make exhausts for both the S&S SA B1 and the S&S SA B2 four bolt cylinder heads with raised ports.

The 145" Tribute engines are 1" taller than stock and have special fixtures.

S&S Twin Cam Oil Pump

If you are running one of these and want a "C" Style Exhaust for your Twin Cam engine let us know as we have a different type "C" Style exhaust that fits these pumps. If you are running a normal cone then there are no fitment issues. Our regular "C" pipe goes up close to the original cone. In the case of the S&S pump pictured above we have to route the rear pipe differently due to the "block" shape.

"B" Style pipes are unaffected by the S&S Oil Pump design.

A pipe has to look as good as it works and every angle has been considered with the LSR 2-1. The pipe is designed to follow the motor's lines and to provide the necessary ground clearance while still allowing access to oil fillers, ignitions, and push rods. The 3" diameter tail section is available in Turn Out or Slash Cut styles.

Two basic primary tube configurations are available for most models: a "B" Style where the rear primary tube wraps around the front of ignition/cam cone, and the "C" Style where the rear primary tube goes forward but turns down and goes behind the ignition/cam cone. Check the Part Numbers Page to see what's available for your particular bike. 00-1163 in Black Ceramic pictured above.

B Style Turn Out on a full custom. Lots of work, lots of money. It's like taking a beautiful girl out and have everyone hitting on her. In this case you have to keep you eye on the bike or it will be in a shipping container on its way out of the country. These projects take a lot of time. Protected by Smith&Wesson as they say.
