judging by the length of mine, they probably wont end up in a good spot. The pipe would probably hit into the sprocket cover if they cleared the side of the engine from there
Mine are a bit different though, they have a removable end cap with a different shape and no baffles. Those ones ive seen described as "megaphones" i thought and im not exactly sure if mine are "cocktailshakers" thats just what the previous owner told me. Mine arent reproduction theyre real vintage also.

Might not be so bad if you extended the header pipe about another foot or so and then added them on after that. Kinda like the old retro choppers with the turned up exhausts.

They look alot like what I have http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=4DAE2ACA-5A21-456F-827E-7033FD748562I noticed that the one listed on ebay are 18 1/2" long. Mine are 19" long. The end just about where I sit and they are loud as ******....The ones in Bob Scogins pic are longer or he has an extension piece

Two comments. The ones that davespain asked about angle up and would be about as long as the ones on Jaeger's bike. They would be angle up toward the back peg. I would check clearnace in that area...Jaeger are those loud ?...I am moving back to CA and I got to change out pipes

Yes, they're pretty loud -- once I repacked 'em they were a lot better, though.  --Jaeger
