yeah, it will miss the typical cruiser looks. but I need the exhaust to move upwards as I lowerd the bike with 10.5 shocks. I'm riding pretty hard and always slip over the pipes and I do not like the short exhausts. so up it has to go. Friend of mine has an old tiger with the exhaust from an old scrambler - this realy flows with the lines but it doesnt go with the america as she is to fat on her back, so the pipes are constantly burning your legs. Tried it but it doesn't work out.
That was the look I was going for in the first place:

In the back you see my wifes restored bonni and my Thrux.
