Default Rocker and Vance and Hines big radius exhaust

I was just wandering if anyone knows if the Vance and Hines Big Radius exhaust system will fit the Rocker. From what I can find and see the Big Radius exhaust systems seems like it will fit on the all softail models including the Rocker, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks.

It sometimes takes aftermarket pipe manufacturers a little time to catch up. They usually need some time with a bike to make the design work properly. So the answer is that V&H probably doesn't make a Rocker compatible Big Radius, but five 'em a year and they probably will.

If you call Vance and Hines you can't trust what they tell you. When I called Vance and Hines about my 07 Sportster, they told me the exhaust I wanted was available with the 02 sensors. When I tried to order, I was told they wouldn't be available for months, I ordered my exhaust from Bud-Rhinehart.

I can understand the mistake. One guy may know the products, the other may know the inventory. Not really good business, but a common mistake. I wouldn't go so far as to say it makes them untrustworthy. I've have V&H products on both of my HDs and have never had a problem.

Default Answer from V&H

I emailed V&H in December asking if anything they had fit the Rocker and here is the answer I got:

We have already test fitted all exhaust systems we offer for the softails. I’m sorry to say that nothing fits. We are in the process of developing something, but we have no estimated release date. All updates will be posted on our website.

Sounds like upnorthwi didn't ask enough ????'s. I've never had a problem with V&H! A-1 service all the time.

Called three times with questions, talked to two different guys, every time I was told they were available. Not only were they not in inventory they weren't even to start manufacturing for several months. How many questions need to be asked to find out if the pipes are available or not. I think Vance and Hines make a good product, but was turned off and went with Bub-Rhinehart. I haven't regretted my decision.

I should not have said "you can't trust what they tell you", I should have said, I couldn't trust what they told me.
